Behind on Blogging

I guess I've been a bit of a slacker on blogging lately... sorry about that. Life has been pretty busy.
I helped with Vacation Bible School two weeks ago. Had 20 four-year-olds!
This past week I did some volunteer work at my church Monday and Tuesday, then started a temp job on Wednesday. I'm now back in the working world again.

For lack of interesting things to say at the moment, here's my reading update.
Recently finished reading: The Church On The Other Side by Brian McLaren and Emerging Church by Dan Kimball.
Currently reading: Knowing God by JI Packer and The Last Word and the Word After That by Brian McLaren
Getting ready to start a small group accountability using the MasterLife books.

I was thinking about creating a list of questions for personal evaluation that I would answer on a weekly basis in a personal journal. For instance, who have I invested in this week? How have I spent my time outside of work?

If you were to do this, what questions do you think would be beneficial? Has anyone ever done anything like this?

Cool stuff...
Here is a list of questions I've used before. It has its roots in Wesley's "bands".
1. Have you watched, read or listened ot any sexually explicit material this week that might detract from devleoping the mind of Christ?
2. Have you been honest this week in your conversations with friends, family, or others with whom you have been in contact (includes lying and cheating)?
3. Have you been involved in any gossip of any type this week?
4. Have you returned good for evil by turning the other cheek when someone wrongs you?
5. Have you been involved in any fighting, quarreling, or using of profanity of any type?
6. Have you spend adequate time in prayer and Bible study?
7 Have you just lied to me?

Then:
-share someething that you ahve learned this week from your time in worship, readings, conversations, etc.
- share a prayer request with your group
- pray for each person in your group
