I'm always trying to think of ways to help gauge one's spiritual well-being (for myself, for my accountability partners, for my wife, for my daughters, and for the people I lead). And most often we make spiritual assessments based upon checklists (read my Bible, prayer, went to church). And while those are good things to consider, they are not the final or even the real gauge of spirituality.
Recently, I came across a couple of questions that are worth considering to check the peace of my own heart:
- Am I becoming more easily irritated these days?
- Am I becoming more easily discouraged these days?
If the answer to either question is "yes" - it should serve as a warning light on the dashboard of my soul.

Thanks, Jean... Me too! I needed these questions a few times over the last year.
