Accountability...

I'm in a group with three other pastors in our Annual Conference. We get together every two weeks to share our lives in ministry together. I am developing some great friendships with these guys, and I am so thankful to the Lord for them. Tomorrow, we meet for breakfast and we're going to ramp it up another notch. We're going to go the next level in our accountability to one another. I have developed a list of three questions that we will each answer. Then we'll keep each other in prayer about those three things, and the next time we meet, we'll ask each other how we're progressed. Here are the questions:

1. What will you do to improve your physical health between now and the next time we meet?

2. What will you do to improve your emotional well-being between now and the next time we meet?

3. What will you do to improve your walk with Jesus between now and the next time we meet.

I'm excited to meet with them, and I am thankful for the accountability, because I don't walk the Christian journey very faithfully by myself!

What about you? Will you put yourself out there to someone for the same things? How about in your small group?

Sound like good questions. You should lead a Wellness Retreat some time!

Maybe we should add to each question, "How have you been..." so it just doesn't look forward, but adds an accountability factor to the past. I dunno.

Chris,

What's the deal? Are you trying to hold ME accountable? Like YOU don't need any accountability? Maybe you should spend more time worrying about yourself and all your problems and leave me alone for a change. I mean, what did Jesus say about the speck and the plank?



OK, for all of you out there in blogland who cannot read sarcasm in what I write, that was a joke. Seriously Chris, great idea. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
