Often, higher priorities seem less urgent and lower priorities seem more urgent. This makes things difficult.

Which seems more urgent to you:
a) your spiritual responsibilities
b) your marital responsibilities
c) your parental responsibilities
d) your pastoral (or other vocation) responsibilities

Which is loudest in your ears:
a) God's still small voice
b) your wife's voice working beside you
c) your kids' voices reverberating off every wall of your house at you
d) or your congregation's voice pumped though phone calls, emails, meetings, and anxiety dreams

If we operate according to urgency, we'll get it wrong...
