9 Goals for 09 - Pt 6

Journal More

Another simple one. I have use journaling in the past as a tool on mission strips or as part of a prayer exercise but I want to take it to the level of a discipline for at least a good chunk of this year. I have a lot of stuff running around my head these days and rather than keep it there or try to structure it and refine it to the level required to share it with others, for example on this blog, I'm going to write it out. Some of it will be what happened today, some of it will be prayers, some of it will be questions and just thinking out loud, but I think it will be a good experience for me to journal it out. I've never found a ton of value in going back and reading journal entries later but have heard that's what you are supposed to do so I have tried to keep them neat and tidy and structured but not this year. This journal is going to be a bucket that I open up my mind and puke into once a day. If 100 years from now archaeologists want to dig through it to try and find out what I ate that will be their problem.
