Getting Away???

Soaking up my last few minutes in the office before leaving on a vacation of sorts!
As you all have read I am going home to Kansas to my high school reunion. Nothing really beats being able get away from the momentum that moves our lives forward. I am looking forward to having the license to not answer that phone call or respond to that email. However in the world of ministry where you are in the business of relationships its quite difficult to push relationships away for a period of time. I sat down today with a co-worker who is on a 3 week vacation and not out of town. Before he even came out of his house I had to promise to not talk about YFC stuff. Of course that didn't happen. Its tough when you are in the business of relationships to not take "work" home. Ministry is such a beautiful, scary place to be as a profession. Beautiful to see the all the things that God is doing in the lives of others, and the way he brings people around to serve His causes, Scary because as a profession its so dangerous to look at relationships as business...
How do you view your professional relationships different from your personal relationships? What would you do if they were one in the same?
