inventory experiment:

over the next month- i'm going to attempt to use these questions to evaluate life at days end. we'll see how it goes. now- you should know that this inventory check is promoted through the 10th step of 12 and these questions are not my invention. they're taken from the book alcoholics anonymous. technically, this inventory should be an ingrained habit. but it is not. i've been funky lately and that's what made me think i should actually try it. i'll let you know how it goes.

how was i resentful?

how was i selfish?

how was i dishonest?

how was i afraid?

do i owe an apology?

what have i wrongly kept secret?

was i unkind?

was i unloving?

what could i have done better?

was i thinking of myself most of the time?

was i thinking of what i could do for others?

who did i help today?

what did i accomplish today?

what am I grateful for today?

who needs my prayers today?

today's chewable vitamin

"a heart for the glory of God and a heart of mercy for the nations make a Christ-like missionary. these must be kept together. if we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy becomes superficial, man centered human improvement with no eternal signifcance. and if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy then our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protestism is out of touch with God and hypocritical."
