Spiritual Principle 2 – Conjoin
by Bradley
To conjoin means to unite or be joined together. I realized when I was getting out of the shower this morning that my hand is part of my body. But I also noticed that I was not sure whether my spiritual consciousness extended all the way to the end of my fingers. When I looked…
