This morning I thought of how I should measure my spiritual activities. I can measure them in effort. I can measure them in efficacy. But both of these measures are subjective and I wasn't able to do this accurately when I tried. The one method that did work for me was to use a time frame and check whether I had taken the action steps. Some of the steps are instructed to be done on a daily basis, "On awakening", "throughout the day", "when we retire at night", for example. Others are not so specific and may not be practically done on a day to day basis.

I found that a day, a week, and a month (rarely) are good measures. One seemed to be the best time frame because that was about the average length of my binging cycle.

Today I remembered something that I have been thinking about that I cannot effectively judge my behavior (or take my inventory) because I am viewing this through the lens of my own belief and value systems and if they are flawed then my analysis is flawed.

This morning I thought about when I would be able to make meetings this week. I realized that I have a small window of opportunity between 9-12 in the morning. All the weeknights are questionable and my wife was at school when I was pondering this so I decided to go ahead and go at the 10:30 meeting. I was grateful for this decision because when she got off from school she let me know that she was working tonight.

It was a good meeting and it was a good day.

Thanks be to God.
