When God didn't behave as I believed He would after Rod died, I began my search to find out who He really is. This put me in a place of openness, willing to see familiar Bible passages and stories through a different lens. It also opened me up to exploring other spiritual belief systems as well as different philosophies and modes of existence in this world.

Finally, brothers and sisters,

​whatever is true,

whatever is noble,

whatever is right,

whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely,

whatever is admirable--

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--

​think about such things.

​Philippians 4:8
