A lot of people will tell you to go away when you bring up spirituality, because they instantly think religion. While the ideals stem from religion, religion actually has a lot less to do with it than you might think.
Someone who I think epitomises the standards of christian spirituality is my father. He is not religious by any stretch of the imagination, but he is still an example of all the decency that christian spirituality presents.
He works hard, is fair, makes choices based on what he honestly thinks is right, and loves his family. It sounds all very easy to spout cliched phrases such as those, but it is my honest belief that that is him. Sure, we have our arguments and there is the odd occasion where we dont agree with what he sayd, but all in all he's a very genuine person and I think tremendously of him.
I only wish that I might one day be half the man he is.
