(I'll send you a very kind note in the case of vulgar or inappropriate language or material, and remove posts of an inappropriate nature.) I consider myself to be constantly re-editing my life, as I believe God leads me to reconsider again. I am a human being under construction. Guess what? My ideas may change over time (and probably must, except in the deep understanding of Jesus as Lord and Savior). In the area of theology, I've had more training. The rest are things I've picked up along the way through courses, life interactions, being boldy curious, experimenting, or reading. When I review a book, make an editorial comment, or talk about a product or idea, I am expressing my personal views and not the views of a scientific, independent laboratory! I will represent viewpoints to the best of my ability. Be advised to carefully weigh several sources and specific counsel before making major life decisions. I believe one should have a solid Christian group of friends who can help you discern and decide. I will not be liable for omissions, extraneous facts, other people's opinions, wonderful imaginations, sleepless nights, damages or loss attributed to this blog. Also, the ideas and thoughts of this blog are not necessarily the views of my employer or the United Methodist Church. Lastly, this blog's purpose is not to make money. It is to create a conversation space to talk about how the church should, could and can be about Jesus in the ever-evolving social media world.

David Seah always has good ideas. He blatantly admits that his life is a mess, and he's trying to get hold of doing the things that need to get done, and let the rest fall off the face of the earth.

How about you? Do you get done in a week what's reasonable and should get done? If you're like me, my time seems to slip away - sometimes in good ways (unexpected interruptions from people) and sometimes in a bad way (mind frolicking everywhere!).

That's why I'm trying out a New Year's resolution this year: Try to live more balanced.

This week's compassAnd I've decided to use David Seah's tool - a Day Grid Balance sheet. I tweaked it for my purposes, mostly to add a weekly scripture focus. You can download my tweaks or download the original. It's all licensed under Creative Common license.

Explanation on how to use this effectively has been all written out here. I would add these experimental comments: 

  •  It's not a waste of time! Living a reflective life is part of living a good life with God. ("Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work." 1 Chronicles 28:10, NIV)
  • Use a focus Scripture for the week and consider each event throughout the week in light of the lesson from scripture. What if each week were a God-honoring week?
Enjoy! (Oh ... and another piece to add to a future sermon on taking Jesus on the job.)
