I'm Not Spiritually Toned

I’m out of town, with some of my wife’s family this weekend. We’re having our final Christmas celebration of the 2004 season. I’m enjoying getting to spend a little time away from home, and without many place to be or things to do.

I’m worried lately about my attitude to a bible study / prayer group I’m involved with at church. I feel like I’m not getting a lot out of our weekly meetings, so I’m not investing as much of myself as I should during the week. I need to remind myself that I benefit from the study and prayer done on my own, and that I’m only hurting myself by not doing what I’ve committed to. It’s a lot like exercise, which gives me the same problem. I need to be taking the long view, sacrificing time sleeping in to giving myself a better chance at personal health.
