Sometimes things get in the way of our best plans and intentions. Sometimes they are blessing events like a wedding or the birth of a child, and sometimes they are trial events like an injury or accident. Regardless of the type of event, they are times when we are pulled away from our normal responsibilities.

I'm personally dealing with one of these situations right now. Last week, our pastor resigned at my home church, and as a board member and newly appointed pulpit search committee chairman, I've suddenly got a lot more responsibilities shoved upon me. Naturally, these responsibilities are going to be taking up more of my time, and thus cutting into the time I have to do my web work.

Now's when I wish I had been able to get someone to be more responsible for our site's content, and maybe it will become the time to press someone into service.

But in general, I'm not sure how to handle the situation exactly. I don't want to completely put the site on the back-burner, but I really won't have much time to deal with it.

Has anyone else dealt with this kind of situation (of changing priorities pulling you away from working on your church website, that is)? How did you deal with it?
