New to the game...
Alright...b/c I got a lot to say (and more to learn), many stories and pictures to share, and know of a few people who might listen and actually be interested, I decided to enter the blogging game. I guess the general direction of this blog will be the things in life I find important (family, friends, living out my faith, the arts, music) and the things I think about (faith, religion, the arts, life itself, modern culture).
To the extent that there is any discussion, it MUST remain open and non-combative. This is not the forum to spew hate and intolerance. Open your mind, listen and learn! What you'll experience is a glimpse into the life of someone who holds a different viewpoint -- maybe it'll change you, maybe it'll solidify your own beliefs. Either way, you'll learn something. I've discovered that there is a beauty in life when you realize that maybe you don't have it all figured out like you once thought you did. The growth and freedom that comes from this realization will make you a more relevant citizen of this World.
Let the blogging begin...

I met an 81 year old woman today. I felt like I was speaking to the Oracle. She told me that I was beautiful. "Do you know why?" she said. "Your beauty is God's holiness." It made me think. Maybe we are more able to recognize His beauty when we let go of all that we think we know, and come to a deeper understanding of His holiness. Its so much more than the packages we've put it in.
That's powerful. Thanks for sharing. This is a unique take on beauty -- one that shows itself in a select few that are specially blessed by God, in what I believe has something to do with their complete submission to Him, even when certain things don't make any sense. Upon meeting a dear friend of mine for the first time, my Mum later remarked: "She glows with
God's goodness." Can you think of a more honorable compliment?
