decisions, decisions...

So I'm not a very good decision maker. That is to say, I have a difficult time making decisions. I don't think that the decisions I make are bad ones; I simply have a tough time arriving at a decision with frustrating regularity.

Here are two examples:
1. "Where do you want to go to eat?" Hate it. I'd much rather react to a suggested dining establishment. Kim and I have come to the conclusion that if we don't already know where we're going to eat, we eat at home! Neither one of us is much good at making the call while in motion.

2. Cell phone provider. We've been with Nextel for years, and our contracts are up. We've been considering our options, but, honestly, I'm a little overwhelmed. It seems like it ought to be pretty easy to figure out the best deal for us, but I just let things roll on from month to month without making a change. The variables and options are too much to weigh out in my mind. I am open to suggestions, if you're feeling generous.

I'm sure that there's a logical reason for my struggles. I've been through all the personality profiles and strengthsfinder things. But at the end of the day, I feel like I still have a tough time pulling the trigger on decisions.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple way to make decisions? The Old Testament priests had the Urim and Thummim to help make decisions, and the early church fathers used a combination of prayer and casting lots to choose between Matthias and Joseph (called Barsabbas, also known as Justus) when it came time to choose an apostle to take the place of Judas Iscariot.

Anybody got a Urim or Thummim I can borrow?
