A list of improvement ideas that I really can't top.

Dan has compiled an excellent --EXCELLENT -- list of ways to improve your body, mind, soul and spirit.

Some of them I've harped on before here at Lone Prairie, but his compilation as a whole is something we could all stand to read. Here are the lists:

Body:
  1. Sleep no less than seven hours a night.
  2. Get up at dawn and go to sleep at midnight.
  3. Stop overeating.
  4. Stop eating bad food.
  5. Get out of the chair and exercise.

Mind:
  1. Read a book!
  2. Learn the basics of logic.
  3. Get out of the Christian ghetto and find out more about an opposing viewpoint.
  4. Kill two birds with one stone and engage another face-to-face about a difficult topic.

Soul:
  1. Learn empathy.
  2. Listen to classical music.
  3. Write music, also.
  4. Write letters.
  5. Cultivate beauty.
  6. Get in touch with the land.
  7. Get out of the house.

Spirit:
  1. Pray more than an hour a day.
  2. Read the Bible intently.
  3. Cultivate Godly horizontal relationships with others.
  4. Ruthlessly eliminate things that interfere with our spiritual lives.
  5. Practice the spiritual disciplines.

Suggestions on sleep, eating,relationships, prayer -- it's all there. With great reasons as to why these ideas make sense. GO NOW. Read the post. Read the whole thing.

Julie,

Thanks for the link back to my post at Cerulean Sanctum and for the enthusiastic endorsement of the contents!

I pray that the Lord blesses you richly on your trip to Nicaragua. Most of all, that He use you for at least one genuine miracle that will bless another and bless you as well.
