Bad Habits
Bad Habits
My brother and bottling farts.
Bed
Tucking yourself tightly under the covers so things can’t get you.
Wash hands
Water
3. Liking things that are universally loved, but pretending it’s a unique side of you.
“Oh my god I love Audrey Hepburn.
If I could be anyone it would be her.
So sophisticated and classic.”
4. Thinking of a great comeback about four hours too late.
5. Using the “view as” button on Facebook with the sole purpose of seeing how our profile looks to our crush
6. Stripping down to your underwear almost immediately upon getting home.
Door closes.
Bam! Naked!
Cupping water in your hands from the shower then dumping it all out like a giant waterfall.
7. Claiming to read an entire book when really you just started it, got bored, then watched the movie instead or just browsed the Wiki page.
“Yeah of course I’ve read Ulysses and War and Peace.”
8. Remembering something funny from like two years ago and then laughing hysterically.
Then, when you’re trying to make yourself stop laughing, you just end up laughing more.
9. Turning the sound down in your car when it’s dark out and you’re looking for a house — as if that’ll somehow improve your vision.
Wednesday
Saying “Wed-nes-day” phonetically to help you spell it
11.
Going to a coffee shop to work but ending up just people watching.
Stairs
13.
Listening to a song over and over again until you get sick of it even though you know this will happen
Skipping the bottom two stairs (or running up the stairs on all fours at home).
14.
Having a strict dressing order you thoughtlessly adhere to — underwear, pants, shirt, socks, jacket…
Yawn
16.
Patting down your pocket to check for your wallet and keys even if you literally just put them in.
Faking a yawn or pretending there’s an urgent text to attend to when there’s even a brief bit of awkward silence
Pets
Talking to your pets like they’re little people.
“Who’s a good little guy?
Is it you?
Is it you?
Yes it is!
What a good little boy!”
Laughing
Laughing at serious moment

Journaling
There is no bad way to do it.
There is no bad way to do it.
You cannot fail at journaling.

You don’t have to do it.
It won’t make you look better in the eyes of God, he already delights in you.
So why would we journal?
I’ve been journaling since I was 17.
I hadn’t even started to take God seriously in my life but I found writing my thoughts down had some benefits to living life well.
When I began to pursue Jesus in relationship journaling helped my relationship with God in a few ways.
Why?
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

How journaling works
To look back
No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals.
They set up Baal-Berith as their god and did not remember the Lord their God, who had rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on every side.
They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
In journaling one can remember the mundane, recall the funny, and not forget the humbling, painful, formative events of life.
Pete Hamill, in his introduction to Edward Robb Ellis’s diary, explains: “The diarist has one essential goal: to freeze time. . . .
This day will never come again, but here, in this diary, I will have it forever.”
Likewise, diarist Andi Ashworth reminds us that with a journal “we have a notebook in which to be a student of life.”
It’s one thing to remember the general contours of life, but a whole other thing to remember with specificity the dialogue, the smells, the laughs, and the tears.
We do not want to be like Israel and “forget” the Lord and all he’s done (e.g., ; ; ).
One of the beauties of corporate worship is coming together as God’s people to recite what God has done.
