Don't recall exactly where I left off yesterday, guess that is what happens when I type at 12am. I've only a half hour to type. With Lie to Me, playing in the background, I probably won't have much to say.
Returning to spirituality, I was saying that I would have frowned upon it, and I did, two years past. I remember one client who said she was very Christian and very spiritual during the psychosocial assessment I did on everybody as a Social Work intern. I figure my disgust was all over my face. Spirituality, that's the stuff for New Age tarot card reading-mantra chanting people. That's not the 'spirituality' I'm considering. That's spiritism, the belief of spirits and demons without the foundation of religion and dogma to declare one as benign and the other evil; all is 'spirit' and all is there to serve us and guide us.
Spirituality is the flavor added to your faith relationship with God that is grounded in the foundation of a religion. I got to a solid understanding of my spirituality over the summer. I delved into spirituality last winter, and came out with a different understanding in the spring. So many are focused on the life, the spring time, the resurrection, the sun and the warmth; I tend towards the winter, the dark, the dark night, the crucifixion, the agony in the garden. I told a friend at a house warming party in July that people need to move beyond what I got, the faith I have is good, go and get what is better. Some of us have to stand at the foot of the Cross at the Crucifixion.
