I'm up for that challenge, John. I have one question about the Outreach to 3 new people a day. For clarification purposes, does that mean that I need to reach out to 3 strangers each day. Or does it mean people I already know that would be a blessing to connect with that day.

My original idea of the challenge was for 3 complete strangers. Get to know them and perhaps talk about Jesus. I'm challenging myself in this as well. It isn't easy for me to get out of my "comfort" zone.

I have decided to accept the challenge and I intend to extend its scope to include other activities of my normal everyday life. I will compile my list over the coming weekend and post it ready for next week.

Hi All
Here is my Narrow Door Challenge;
10 Minutes of Daily Prayer
30 Minutes of Daily Bible Reading
30 Minutes of Song/Video Worship
Outreach to 3 New People A Day
30 Minutes of Housework to my wife's standard and not mine
30 Minutes of Daily Exercise
10 Minutes of BG Updates
10 Minutes of Daily Check-In w/ Accountability Partner
24 hours w/o any relapses
5 hours per week working in the garden (weather permitting) I normally avoid this as much as I can and let the Lord and my wife down when I do.
3 hours per week language learning
As you can see I have amended Jonathan's original list to better fit my circumstances, I hope that this will not cause offence to anyone.
Ridat
