In times of deep snowfall, contemplations of life are ever-present.  Time seems to stand still amidst the beauty of the day.  In about six weeks, OB offices will be getting lots of phone calls.  Beware!!  In times like these, some conceive children, and I have conceived a new blog.  I have been writing about things dear to me over the past few months, mostly about my humble journey with the Lord.  I have considered these writings to be like a journal, private and personal.  However, I have become aware that while I live in the “Land of the Free”, I certainly do not act like I am free.  There is an unspoken rule that says we don’t bring up religion and we DO NOT say the word Jesus, as that is clearly narrow-minded.  I am routinely an active participant in such philosophies.  Routinely.  Well, friends, by buying into this cultural norm, I am indeed not free.  A gentle whisper is pushing me to break my routine and share my thoughts.  How could I not exercise this luxurious freedom when young women are horrifically abused around the world in efforts to be free?

I have dear friends whom I deeply respect that do not share my same worldview.  That is okay.  I am extremely grateful for this!  God is so amazingly multi-faceted that I cannot comprehend the depth of Him who is not limited by time or by my mind.  This blog is not a writing against my dear friends or colleagues in any way.  We have a mutual respect and admiration that goes beyond cyberspace and I pray that this in no way changes that truth.  I am simply writing about my own worldview.  That is all.  I am not a theologian, nor a writer, just a blonde, so proceed at your own risk.
