To More Boldly Go

I heard yesterday that Leonard Nimoy passed away.  I didn't know much about him as a person...just that he played Spock on Star Trek.  I read some about him yesterday and it was all very interesting to me...like how he came up with his catch-phrase, "Live long and prosper"...here is a link to an interview with him where he describes the background behind it.  Awesome inspiration!

God totally has a way of putting weird things together for me....I can't even begin to explain how He works in my mind and through my world.  So, in the last few blogs I have been thinking about blessing people,  who am I? , and then, yesterday, I wore this weird shirt that was kind-of like animal print, but cartoon animal print that made me think of Pebbles from the Flintstones....which made me pick a picture with Fred's famous catch-phrase for my blog.  Then I found out Leonard Nimoy passed away, so I wanted to learn more about his life....obviously he has a famous catch-phrase, but I didn't know where it came from so I read some articles that said it originated with the Aaronic Blessing, "The Lord Bless You and Keep You"..... :)

Then, I read something that totally boggled my mind about two autobiographies Leonard wrote in his lifetime....the first, written in 1975 was titled, I Am Not Spock.  Many of his fans were upset with this work and misunderstood it, feeling betrayed as they so loved his character, Spock.  He encountered so much criticism over the work and believed people did not understand his intent that 20 years later in 1995 he wrote a second autobiography titled, I Am Spock.  Who am I?  Right!?

I am not sure what this means....if anything, I believe it is God reinforcing His lessons to me.....to ALWAYS be intentional to BLESS others and to be more confident and bold in who I am in Christ....regardless of what I do at any given time or what others perceptions of me are or will be....who I am IN HIM is constant because He is constant.
