Spiritual

Let me begin by saying that I am making a generalization today.  Yes there are some people that do really bad things.  There is some really bad music.  There are some things that I consider nonspiritual.  But we have divided up the world into the sacred and the secular, and we have thrown way too much out the window because it didn't pass our Christian smell test.

So, here I go... on a follow up from yesterday's post.  What is Christian?  What is secular?  What is spiritual?

Many great teachers over the centuries have taught that everything is spiritual.  All truth is God's truth, where ever you find it.

Christian isn't just what we find in Methodist circles.  Spiritual isn't just hymn singing.  Music moves us and speaks to us...  that is spiritual.  There is nothing wrong with listening to James Taylor music or reading Tom Clancy novels.  All of life is beautiful and is to be enjoyed and celebrated.

Imagine asking Jesus, "So Jesus, how is your spiritual life?"  he would laugh at us.  For Jesus, all of life was spiritual, all of it a gift.  It should be the same way for us as well.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
