What is a Cherubim? That short—and rather random—question changed my life. Do you know what it is? Because, let me tell you, there’s a funny story behind it. I was researching a new fiction sub-genre when I came across this word. You’ve heard it before, of course…but what exactly is it? Upon researching, I realized what I had originally thought it to be was completely inaccurate. My entire life, I’d been operating with wrong information—not that it’s vital to my well-being to know what it is. But at the time it felt vital. I felt a little silly once I knew the truth. I was wrong. Like way wrong in my assumptions. Have you ever felt that way? A little sheepish? A little embarrassed? But even with those feelings, stronger ones coursed through me. Excitement. Interest. A craving for more knowledge. What else didn’t I know? What else had I gotten wrong? I immediately called my family and asked my parents and each of my siblings to tell me what they thought cherubim was. To my delight, the answers varied widely. Some were laughable—as laughable as my original thought was, at least. Naked baby angels. Mystical animals. A gate…but some had the right answer. Amusement flowed between us as each contributed to this—ahem—important family discussion. It was something so small, one tiny little question, but it sparked a thirst for spiritual knowledge I had never felt before. Over the last year and a half, I have dedicated countless hours studying the scriptures, pouring through institute manuals, devouring any and all books I could acquire on a variety of topics…and my TBR shelf is still ridiculously long. But I’m young and tender in my journey. And if you’ve found me—and I haven’t completely scared you off with this first post—I think you’ll like what you find here. I’m not interested in my own ideas or commentary. I mean…I’m just me. I’m interested in truth. So that’s what I intend to do. Give truth. Compile the words of prophets and apostles and other concrete sources to learn gospel mysteries and then share the knowledge I’ve found. So grab a drink. Take a seat. And join me on a journey that will change both our lives. -A Follower of Christ And because you’re dying to know… Cherubim |
