A few days ago, I left a friend’s house in a part of town with which I was not familiar to go to a doctor appointment. I was already late and didn’t have cell service to look up directions so I tried to take what I thought would be a short cut to save time. Unfortunately, those short cuts ended up being dead ends. Instead of getting there earlier, they wasted my time and I was even later than I would have been. Moral of the story, look up directions instead of winging it… So how does this apply to spiritual life?
