Today, our own Sharon Morgan delivered our Sunday sermon on the topic of "Spiritual Enthusiasm." We come from many different backgrounds, and our unique experiences determine just what speaks to each of us, what makes us feel alive and fills us with awe. For many of us, we didn't convert to Unitarian Universalism so much as discover that it offered a home for our unique selves, but Sharon called on us to do more with that home than use it as a resting place. By being mindful about how we spend our time, money, and attention, by exploring beyond our comfort zones, by finding positive sources to turn to when we need a boost, we can take a new level of responsibility for nurturing the spiritual enthusiasm that will enrich our lives and our communities.
