First Post on Reflections

To blog or not to blog.  That is the question.   I have been thinking about blogging for some time now and it is pretty intimidating to put thoughts out in cyberspace for all to read and to judge.  I was amazed how easy it was to start up.  So I thought my blog must have a name.  Names are important so after thinking some more – my brain is starting to hurt – I decided on the name Reflections.

I looked this word up online. The Merriam-Webster dictionary states that a reflection is a thought, idea, or opinion formed on as a result of meditation.   That sounds like an interesting blog to me – reflection on a thought, idea or opinion.  Another definition for reflections is the production of an image by or as if in a mirror.  Well, I do want my blog to reflect an image.  So I began to think about what type of image do I want this blog to have.   Well, because it will consist of my thoughts and writings it must reflect me and things I believe in.  So that is the question for today.  What do I believe in?   Do I believe in money, people – or a greater being?  I believe in Christ as my Savior.  I believe that I am to reflect his image in my words, actions and deeds.  I know many times my reflection is dull and does not give a proper image of my Savior at all.  But I think that is okay if each day I do my best to work on this reflection.
