Let's Be Spiritually Fit !

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 20, 2006

A short homily for some elderly Christians living in sheltered accomodation. I don’t think I took on board the right amount of spiritual food over the Christmas and New Year period. God is challenging me (and perhaps you!) to be spiritually fit.
