As I peered over the mountain of material cluttering my desk-calendar, desk pad, desk Day-Timer, electric pencil sharpener, filing baskets, reminder note pads, standing telephone directory, answering machine, calendar pen holder, future-planning scheduling diary-a strange thought occurred to me: Most of this junk is supposed to help me become more organized!<\/p>\n\n

Since pastors run theirs lives by lists, I made a list of all the things on my desk I could do without. But then I didn’t have the heart to part with any of them. All I produced was another efficiency list to clutter my desk<\/p>\n\n

My desk inventory was not without gain, however. While rummaging I found several lists I had written years ago in an earlier attempt to get organized. Here, then, for your ready reference, are three basic lists a pastor needs. Read them, add to them, subtract from them-but please, don’t leave them lying on your desk.<\/p>\n\n

A Pastor’s Ten Favorite Illustrations<\/p>\n\n

1. Someone else’s big mistake.<\/p>\n\n

2. The bumper sticker I read on the way to church.<\/p>\n\n

3. My last vacation.<\/p>\n\n

4. My kid’s darling, off-the-cuff remark.<\/p>\n\n

5. Anything from Reader’s Digest found while waiting for the doctor.<\/p>\n\n

6. An old joke, which magically becomes “something that happened to a friend of mine.”<\/p>\n\n

7. The story of my only fishing trip, made to sound like an Audubon expedition.<\/p>\n\n

8. The day I won “the big game.”<\/p>\n\n

9. The day I lost “the big game.”<\/p>\n\n

10. The day I finally told the truth about “the big game.”<\/p>\n\n

The Ten Most Overheard Comments at the Door on Sunday Morning<\/p>\n\n

1. “Excellent sermon, Pastor.”<\/p>\n\n

2. “How do you keep coming up with those sermons?”<\/p>\n\n

3. “There was a lot there to chew on.”<\/p>\n\n

4. “Better luck next week, Pastor.”<\/p>\n\n

5. “What was your fifth subpoint of the third main point? I got writer’s cramp and didn’t catch it.”<\/p>\n\n

6. “I liked the part where your toupee feel off [or you lost your notes, or your voice cracked]. A real human touch.”<\/p>\n\n

7. “I stayed awake this week!”<\/p>\n\n

8. “I’m glad Ralph was here to listen to that message.” (From George.)<\/p>\n\n

9. “I’m glad George was here to listen to that message.” (From Ralph.)<\/p>\n\n

10. “We’re glad George and Ralph were here to listen to that message.” (From everybody else.)<\/p>\n\n

Ten Things I Dare Not Lose in Ministry<\/p>\n\n

1. My sanity.<\/p>\n\n

2. My Day-Timer.<\/p>\n\n

3. My breath mints.<\/p>\n\n

4. My voice.<\/p>\n\n

5. My Mondays off.<\/p>\n\n

6. My sermon-preparation time.<\/p>\n\n

7. My parking spot.<\/p>\n\n

8. My favorite board member.<\/p>\n\n

9. My only free night in a month.<\/p>\n\n

10. My spouse’s first name.<\/p>\n\n
