@JustNik Great book.

I know little about your day-to-day life, but I can tell you that your persona here doesn't require fixing. Your posts are uplifting and lyrical. Your comments are supportive and kind.

Maybe even keel isn't the most desirable goal.

I just caught this quote on the fly and while I can't give credit, I can and do affirm it.

It is not so much the destination, but the journey.

Your writing is always thought and emotion provoking.

I read The Screwtape Letters as a teenager. Whilst I left the church they still had/have a profound effect on me.

@OldBrit Thank you. I’m not one who has ever been comfortable with organized religion, but I’m not closed off to many ideas and appreciated approaching it from that direction. I saw many comments made on the book that either cheered or jeered based on the Christianity aspect alone, and they all popped into my head when he mentioned “spiritual pride.” 😂
