Steps to the Spirit
Steps to the spirit is about my search for, discovery of, and use of the Spirit to live my life according to the wishes and plans of God. I also call them gifts from God because I believe He has given us these tools to enable us to find a closer relationship with Him. I invite you to join me in this quest that is at times both difficult and extremely fulfilling. I will try to explain how and why it became necessary to surrender, thus enabling me to begin to live according to God's plan.I will post additional info on my blog: http://www.StepsToTheSpirit.com/blog To contact me, please use: [email protected]

Stepping Outside – Step Four (Part 1)

Stepping Outside – Step Three (Part 2)
Once again we are looking at step three in the context of how to apply these steps in the real world. At first blush, this program seems to be one that you can do these steps and be don…

Stepping Outside – Step Two (Part 2)
I would like to speak a little more about step number two, which I have associated with the gift of belief. Well, I guess that was kind of a “no-brainer”! I guess what I want you to kno…
Stepping Outside – Step Two (Part 1)
I feel as though it is an unending battle. I didn’t have a difficult time believing in a power greater than myself. I was not always a fully functional Catholic, but I was always a spir…
