My wife came home and found this notice on the front door, "Water service has been discontinued for non-payment of your water bill". No water. No shower. No cooking. My wife got a break. We went out for Chinese food and used the rest room at KFC.
I'm bad at personal management. I'm always late on bill payment. I get overwhelmed when multitasking. It's just who I am. My personality. My weakness. That's why pastoring can be a very stressful job for me. If a man can't handle his personal household, how can he manage a community of God's people?

Shouldn't you be paying your bills before ... blogging? :-)
Yes but blogging doesn't cost any money - ha ha ha :-)
Hey, that's why I love auto payment. No cost, no worry, no shut-off :-)
Thanks for your comment over on my blog. The reason I might take much longer for a sermon is because 1) I have to squeeze the studies in between my day time job duties, 2) I am a study-holic, I like to study.
As for your personal management, consider auto-payment + a scheduled time to grind through them all once a week or so.
