"spirituality"

today i was talking with a friend on msn. we were talking about church and life and praise and worship time and how i am really craving one of those experiences where you can just get lost in the worship music. at one point, he made a comment about how i am obviously a very spiritual person. this struck me in an odd sort of way. this man in a young adults pastor. he is a christ loving person, so i know that it wasn't one of those turned up nose, "oh, you're a 'spiritual' person" type comment, but it still didn't sit right. i think the word 'spiritual' has become perverted in my mind. there are so many people who claim to be 'spiritual' people. the people who say; "your god stuff is good for you, but i am spiritual in my own way". what does 'spiritual' even mean? it is like the word 'christian'. so many people these days are "christians", but they have no desire to live in a christ-like manor. they have no intention of living a life that is at all in accordance to how christ lived. i guess these words irk me with how they are over used and becoming meaningless adjectives, ill used to describe person's life. it sure would be nice if they could all just pick a different term and get on with it.
hello, my name is todd. i am a toddian, and i am a very light and airy type person. i embrace all things as right and pure, just as they are, and live in a very 'free to do what you want, when you want' sort of way.
