Lumbar Stenosis update:

1.  Friday afternoon surgery on the back, spent the night in Presby Dallas.

2.  Wednesday morning about 9:30, I suddenly knew I could do it and I walked with no assistance from the dining room to the kitchen sink.  This was humbling and encouraging.    Actually, I felt like I had just climbed Kilimanjaro again.  Wow!

    True?    

    I believe there is an important distinction to be made between religion and spirituality. Religion I take to be concerned with belief in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another–an aspect of which is acceptance of some form of meta-physical or philosophical reality, including perhaps an idea of heaven or hell. Connected with this are religious teachings or dogma, ritual, prayers and so on. Spirituality I take to be concerned with those qualities of the human spirit–such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, which bring happiness to both self and others.
