Stephanie Since I have, on several occasions, remarked that everything I do and write about comes from a spiritual foundation, it occurs to me that it might be useful to make that spiritual foundation clear. Many months ago, I posted my statement of faith, What Do I Believe?, with Scripture references and lengthy (for me) explanations. It is unfinished in places and, even with that, a bit long. It might be easier to understand in smaller “bites.” (Not to mention that this way the unfinished bits are more likely to get finished. 
)
This series also serves as another introduction, a “getting on the same page” so to speak. While anyone is welcome to visit and comment on this site, my specific target audience are those of similar culture and faith. This blog, and any other venues that grow from it, are meant to be an encouragement and inspiration to those who consider Jesus their Savior and Lord and seek to follow the teachings of the Bible within the culture of contemporary United States of America. (Ancillary to that, of course, is the desire that my ramblings and musings will make the gospel’s message of hope clearer to all.)
Even within that precise a mission, there is room for many, many variations and differences of opinion. As a guide, and as a help for readers trying to determine if they even want to read what I have to say, I think it will be useful and prudent to lay out for scrutiny the minimal foundations of my worldview, that set of beliefs from which all my opinions and life experiences grow. Hence this series of posts, one each Sunday. Once posted, this series will be compiled into one page for easy access to all who visit this blog.
