Counting the wins.

It’s been a good few weeks.

Something shifted for me — or I shifted. Made a decision that I needed to start doing everything I could do to get unstuck.

Reclaiming a rhythm of fasting has helped. Self-denial. Suffering. Rejecting the impulses of the flesh. All of that has rebuilt atrophied muscles of self control.

Reclaiming a discipline honoring the scriptures as sacred has helped. Expecting to be formed and shaped and sharpened.

Today’s Check In for Yesterday

What’s the check in criteria?

For now:

  • what did my eyes see? In terms of words and images.
  • Where were my thoughts? Did I indulge fantasies and linger on things that flashed through?
  • So — eyes and thoughts.

Yesterday: good! Keep sharp.
