We live in a complex world. Everything is speeding up, and the amount of information that comes our way everyday is steadily increasing. But in the midst of this growing complexity is a growing hunger for simplicity. Trend watchers tell us that simple is in. You can see evidence of this simplicity in business, in technology and in design. Regardless of what trend is in or out, simple has always been in when it comes to spiritual growth.
