One of my personal goals for 2006 is to spend daily time with God in prayer, Bible study and journaling. You would think that as a minister, that this would be something that is just ingrained into my life, as well as into the lives of other ministers. You would probably be surprised then that it is not. I'm afraid that ministers get busy too and bow down to the altar of the tyranny of the urgent - there's always something to do, always a phone call/email to reply to, always a song/message to prepare.
Anyway, I've been trying to locate some items in the past that have been helpful to me in my daily walk. One such item is called The Disciple's Journal. I believe that I picked this up at the Christ in Youth Conference one year, when I was a youth minister in Colorado. I also believe that I have another 5 or 6 copies somewhere, so I'll try to dig them up if anyone wants one. It's a great discipleship journal, because each week you go through a character study or the commands/promises of Jesus. There's also a daily journal entry section (which I use as a place to put what I'm praying about, because I already have another journal I write in).
My goal is to also blog about each character study every week so that I can pass on what I have learned, as well as it will help me process the character study.
Sometime this week, I will post on the first character study - perseverance.
By the way, if you want to check out the company who puts out The Disciple's Journal, you can find them here.

If you find the extras, Dude, I'd love to check one out...
I used that book with a dicsipleship group of HS guys a few years ago. It's great, and I think it's still available from CIY (and probably other places, too).
