ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:
In an earlier blog post today (05 November 2011), I requested you to answer every question I ask in the blog, and in every blog post, in your own journal.
That sounds like a great idea. But, what does that look like? How should you keep a journal for your answers and for review? More importantly, however, is why. Why should you keep a journal of answers and of review?
WHY TO KEEP A JOURNAL OF ANSWERS AND REVIEW:
A loyal faith is one that is:
~ Reflective (thought through)
~ Planned (Scheduled)
~ Evaluated
~ Implemented/Applied
~ Re-Evaluated
Why keep a journal?
Can you remember every single thought you think today? How about your thoughts from yesterday? What about the day before? What about from 20 May 2003?
Do you see the point?
There is another point which needs to be made about why it is important to keep a journal. Something you think today will be different tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in three months, in a year, etc. It is one thing to work it through in your mind. But, when it is written down on the page, and you are forced to look at it, you will see it differently. Therefore, it is important to work things through and keep the progression of thought. If gives you something to evaluate and re-evaluate later.
Another reason to journal is because thoughts are fleeting. You can forget to think about something. Journaling it will help you keep on track.
