Spiritual Tool Box

My Tool Box has been getting a lot of attention since I moved into the new house. I have a hammer, standard and ‘other’ screw driver. I have pliers and I even know what a Molly bolt is! But, just knowing what the tools are doesn’t mean that I’m good or even comfortable using them. To do that – to be good and comfortable with my tool box, I have to use the tools. I have to consistently swing the hammer, drive the screw and lock the pliers.

What if we had a ‘Spiritual Tool Box’ - tools that actually help us SPIRITUALLY? Tools like; centered prayer, journaling, and expressive art. These kinds of tools keep us ‘hanging straight’ and ‘put together’ well. We all need to use such techniques in order to be spiritually strong. We need to have a Spiritual Tool Box.

I am going to begin a series of articles about the tools that can help us grow spiritually. Next newsletter I’ll share some ideas on Centered Prayer as a way of enhancing your life with Christ and with others. I hope you’ll join me in putting together a good Spiritual Tool Box.

See you in Church!
