daily word - spiritual rigor

Do you appreciate and follow a path of rigor in intellectual things? This would include rules for evidence, unbiased and free investigation, and letting conclusions flow from facts and reasoning rather than starting from conclusions and trying to force fit facts. Do you follow a path of rigor in spiritual things? This would include the same rules listed above if you are to live a reasonable faith. Does it include anything else? The conclusions you reach in your spiritual search have implications for the way you should live your life. If you want to live a life of spiritual rigor practice what you preach.
