Dana, compartmentalizing—empathy, judgment, compassion—turned out to be one of the most important skills I learned. When confronting gross injustice and suffering every day, that ability makes the difference between caving and serving.

Always amazes me how God combines the most unlikely things—even complete opposites. That, of course, confirms once again that His thoughts and His ways are indeed far above ours. God bless you as you continue to follow His leading. It will definitely lead you to good places.

Jim, thanks for your article. As a psychologist who is hoping to serve someday as a volunteer, helping pilot, I really appreciate the struggles you shared about how to balance these two very different roles and skill sets with which God has blessed you. I often wonder how pilots “compartmentalize” their compassion/empathy long enough to complete the complex mission.

At the moment, my two careers/pursuits are very separate; but one day, I’d love to merge them. Only God knows what that will look like?.

Thanks again for sharing.

Dana
