I got this in my e-mail yesterday, and found it encouraging food for thought:
John Wesley's Holy Club used to ask themselves these 18 questions for personal devotion:
Am I conciously or unconciously creating the impression that I am a better person than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
Am I honest in all acts or words, or do I exaggerate?
Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told to me in confidence? Can I be trusted?
Am I a slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?
Am I self-concious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
Did the Bible live in me today?
Do I give it time to speak to me each day?
Am I enjoying prayer?
When did I last speak to somebody else with the object of trying to win that person for Christ?
Am I making contacts with other people and using them for the Master's Glory?
Do I pray about the money I spend?
Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
Do I disobey God in anything?
Do I insist upon doing something for which my conscience is uneasy?
Am I defeated in any part of my life? Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy, or distrustful?
How do I spend my spare time?
Am I proud?
Do I thank God I am not as other people, (like the Pharisee who despised the (sinner) publican)?
**************
Exercise has been happening (even yesterday between work and prayer meeting ... Wednesdays are my most challenging day because the time is so cut-up and awkward). Studying ... not so good, unfortunately.

Dang! That'll leave some rubber on the road! Good stuff!
I've been coming under more and more conviction about not being in the Word nearly enough myself...
