Your Question:

Can I still work part-time?

Answer:

I think it's great that you're considering the value of hard work and the importance of maintaining one's health and well-being. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with burnout and neglect their families. However, I also believe that part-time work can be a viable option, especially if it allows you to balance your responsibilities and prioritize your family.

As a father of two teenagers, I can attest to the importance of being present and available for my children. While my wife Susan and I have been fortunate to have a stable home life, I've seen how easily things can get out of balance when both parents are working long hours. That's why I think it's essential to consider what kind of work schedule will allow you to be there for your loved ones.

In our household, my wife Susan and I have made a conscious effort to prioritize our family time, especially as our children have grown older. While I do enjoy playing chess and reading science fiction novels, my true passions are my family and my work as a pastor. If part-time work allows you to maintain a healthy work-life balance and prioritize your family, then I think it's definitely worth considering.
