VITAL SIGNS
A few days ago I went to my doctor, (no I am not sick), just a checkup. I guess I think about simple stuff others don’t notice. Upon entering the nurse does four things before I ever see the doctor. First I am weighed – ugh – depressing. Then my blood pressure, pulse, temperature are measured. Why?
The doctor uses those basic readings to assess my basic physical well being. It is a beginning point for him to determine how good, or how bad, my overall health is at that moment.
I have been thinking. If it were possible to measure my spiritual vital signs what would it say about my spiritual health? What would it suggest about my spiritual future and longevity?
What about you, are your ready to run a marathon or seek admission to a spiritual ICU?
What do you think are the “Vital Signs” of personal spiritual health?
