I believe I am a charter member of this club. :)
The "Us 4 and No More" club is a sure fire way to suffer from a severe case church burn.
You may ask, 'what is this club that you speak of Jimmy?'...well...I am glad you asked.
The definition of the "Us 4 and No More" Club is where there are always the certain people that are called upon to do, to serve. Usually it is because said people can be counted upon to ALWAYS be there. No matter what day, what time, where or how.
Now please understand that this is not necessarily a bad thing, and it speaks highly to the character and commitment to those that do, BUT, if you are always one of the few that sacrifices your time and it takes away from your family....be careful!
It comes back to what was mentioned in Rule #5, you have to lead a balanced life.
There is such a thing as being so busy doing that you forget to just be!
We must have our priorities in line as stated in Rule #7;
Priority #1: God (Our first love)
Priority #2: Family (Set aside by God)
Priority #4: Work (We must provide/care for family)
Priority #5: Church (Source of encouragement)
Serving is a great thing. A thing to be commended and applauded. But don't forget to keep the above mentioned priorities in line.
