I have found yet another challenge to doing no harm. The newness, the novelty, of paying attention to every action has worn a bit and so I completely forget that doing no harm is part of what I am trying to do (or not do as the case may be). This does not mean I will give up but it does mean that I am coming to understand more the need for accountability, a group of people to hold me to that standard. John Wesley had it right when he required people to be part of a small group setting and to hold one another to the standards of faith. No one is checking up on me but myself and while I try, I am not always being successful.
Reminders and accountability seem important to the process. So I must find a way to either be accountable and remember or I will have to be satisfied with only occasionally being aware enough to avoid doing harm.
