Vital Signs

You can't hide life. The signs are there if you know where to look for them. In fact, every medical exam begins with a measurement of the body's most basic functions. These vital signs are not only proof of life, but a basic indication of how healthy we are. What if there were vital signs for our spiritual health? Are there factors that we should monitor regularly to make sure that we are not only spiritually alive but healthy? Are there basic aspects of our life that should be checked regularly to let us know of developing problems that could be catastrophic if not dealt with? We think there are. Join us in January for a free checkup of our vital signs: spiritual pulse (transformation), body temperature (relationship/community), respiration (generosity), and blood pressure (peace/contentment).
