based on 4 ratings

| 6,908 views

The Spirituality Trap

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023

| 1,288 views

We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.
