How Spiritual Progress Inches Along

Spiritual progress can be slow.

Still, if you are going to start, you have to start somewhere.

If not with drastic immediate change, then at least with an acknowledgment of needed change.

And small steps to start.

I still met him at motels, but nicer ones. I had stopped seeing the man with the bleeding wife. I felt I had standards again—granted, they were very low standards, but still . . .
