The One Step

 You hear the phrase “Step outside of the box.”  It seems to indicate a different way of living from a norm.  Well, some people on a so called spiritual path will put one foot outside the box but not the other.  Christians for instance say that Jesus is God, as they step outside the secular world of non-belief.  But then many of these same “believers” don’t put the other foot outside the box.  They don’t follow what Jesus said.  It is one step spirituality and one gets nowhere while a foot is stuck in the box.  Recovery people think they are stepping outside the box when they stop drinking and profess they will reform.  But they don’t do the steps.  They are dry but not sober and it won’t last even that.  They kept one foot still in the box and one cannot trudge the happy road of destiny with one foot stuck in the box.
