SPIRITUAL OR RELIGIOUS?

A little humor is good for the soul. This story helps me see things a bit more clearly, concerning spirituality.

      There was this man that was a drug addict and he had virtually hit his bottom in life. He was spiritually and emotionally bankrupt, not to mention, dirty, broke, and sick and tired of being sick and tired!
The man had no place to go on this particular Sunday afternoon.  He was in front of a church, leaning up against a tree with his head hung down in shame.
      Jesus walked up and noticed that the man was deeply saddened, and said,
“Why are you out here, and not in the service singing with everyone else?” The man looks up at Jesus with tears in his eyes, and replies,  “Oh they won’t let me in there.”
Jesus replies,  “Oh don’t worry about them, they haven’t let me in there for years.”

Religion is for people that are afraid of going to hell, spirituality is for people that have been there.
