What is religion and is it the same thing as spirituality?

Religious rituals were designed (and improved) to pass important messages down from generation to generation.

In a busy world – and it’s always been a busy world – we need humble transitions from fast to slow.

Without slow, we miss much of what we are passing.

In a car or at a dinner table.

Make sense?

That’s why we always say Grace before eating dinner.

Have you noticed the nuance as our day’s pace changes?

White water rafting can be a spiritual experience

A break from writing.

Much of the trip was far too calm.

 

White water rafting can be a spiritual experience when you’ve never done it before.

Why?

The legal form you sign makes death feel possible.

However, in early August, the snow melt is down to a trickle and the class 3 and class 4 waves are reduced to class 2 at best.

i was more afraid of the cold water.

It was fine.

Do you know what you gain when you do something you didn’t want to do?

Where’s the best place to find God?

Sure, most teens struggle to carve solid, lifelong values during those tumultuous years before leaving home for good.

So no worries there.

Travel well on your life’s journey an keep and open mind and an open eye.

Second question: Do you know where i saw God yesterday?

Hint: it happened while i was awake.

(Ps. Was awake from 5am-9pm)

(Ok i’ll tell you…i saw God everywhere. All day.)

The devil uses pain as a weapon against our Creator

Hiking in Glacier
Yesterday was a physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging day. We hiked over 22k (13.5 miles yesterday).

 

The devil uses pain to hide the beauty.

Can you see that now?

Why or why not?
