Spiritual Age

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Losing the challenges of peace, we settle for trying to “win” at war.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Another day, another disappointment.
Another day, another chance for growth.
Another day, another series of miracle moments.
Another day, another opportunity to witness beauty.
Another day, another tragedy.
Another day, another blossom of hope.
Another day, another regret.
Another day, another experience of forgiveness.
Another day, another broken dream.
Another day, another new start.
Another day, another war.
Another day, another urge for peace.
Another day, another death.
Another day, another resurrection.
To everything a season, but life prevails.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Proselytizing? No, that’s for the insecure. I simply witness to the Truth.”

[Perhaps He believed it and did it, but He never said it.]

D. Blog: Spiritual Maturity

It seems to be a pattern that as a body’s vitality decreases, a spirit’s strength increases. In our youth, our physical nature usually has prominence. In our latter years, with more experience to draw upon, our spiritual maturation comes to the forefront. With this, if we have had spiritual nurture, comes wisdom, Sophia.

One seldom encounters young spiritual directors. I don’t think that’s an accident.
