OK, I admit it. I've never done this blog thing before. I am a blog virgin. Let me know if I violate any international blogging codes.
The weight of responsibility of being a godly man, husband, and father has been tugging at me lately. It's awakening me further to the effect that my life will have on my wife and children.
Meg and Sophia took a last minute trip to Florida with my Mom and sisters. So, I have the house to myself this weekend. I'm going to take advantage of this evening alone by trying to take some time to reflect on my life. To see how I'm doing in all the different areas of my life and how I can apply myself better. I ran into this quote last weekend in a book Meg and I are reading through: "If my private world is in order, it will be because I make a daily choice to monitor it's state of orderliness."
Is there any resources or methods that you guys have found helpful in regularly watching your own souls and ordering your private world?

I've been pondering your question this week. Although i don't think one form or style always works I think just being conscious of the question on a regular basis helps. James and I had a conversation during his time in SC which focused on the common response to anyone in ministry to the question "How are you doing?" is "Busy but good." (if any of you ever ask me how i'm doing and I answer busy but good you have my permission to knee me in the junk.)
When Lisa was in the hospital nurses came in all night long to check her vital signs. For us i think it's good to get in that habit maybe not a monthly retreat but just a regular time to say what are my vitals? spiritually? physically? emotionally? etc.
I found this blog earlier not real helpful but still asks the question.
