Spiritual Journaling Is NOT a Diary

Thirteen years ago, the chair of our local Christian CEO roundtable (C12) suggested that I start a spiritual journal. And I thought, "No way! I'm a man's man. I don't do keepsake boxes, I don't do lockets, and I certainly am not going to start writing in a diary." But my friend kept insisting that a spiritual journal is NOT a diary. After several months of prodding, I finally decided to give journaling a try. Looking back, I now see that journaling changed the trajectory of my life and it helped me grow much closer to God and His son Jesus.
