Who is Your Barometer?

If you're like me, you put life on a self-absorbed cruise-control until issues build up and your wife lets you know that something has to change. For me, I then run a cycle that ranges from denial and excuse-making to grudging admittance and finally I resort to reactive problem solving.

My barometer is my wife's threshold for the chaos that accompanies my self-absorption. Instead, maybe I can begin to garner a proactive position of leadership in my home by using the word of God as my barometer.
