What was the greatest spiritual challenge of your life?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 09, 2007:

Getting past the belief that I had to be religious in order to be spiritual. I'm learning that they are two very different things. I was actually told by one of the 'elders' in my church that I wasn't spiritual enough. That was very hurtful to me. I left that church and I'm more spiritual now than I ever have been.

Good call…clearly this elder had no idea what being spiritual was.

…. thinking religion and spirituality may have nothing in common in the end… one man made, the other from the heavens…..

Interesting speculation, Di.

Like Mark Twain once said about another issue, it's like the difference between lightning and the lightning bug!
