Our Home
We are living in a remote, rural area in the North of Maine, USA. Surrounded by incredibly rich and beautiful nature: deep, wild forests, streams, creeks, and lakes, between Bangor and the Baxter Park we are in driving distance to montains and the ocean enjoying the best of all the sights and wonders, God put on His beautiful earth.
Ourselves
We are a married, Christian couple, blessed to work from home. Our children emprtied the nest and so we have the time and opportunity to teach and share our devotion and love for God with His children from around the world.
Our website
Our page feaures a variety of posts and pages. On the static pages we put information that stays consistent, with little chanes, such as this page you are reading. a majority of the pages are designed to be accessible for the general public, openly. There are also a few content pages that are exclusive to the users with privileged access.
On the blog posts we post dynamic, changing content. Though some posts may repeat over time, a majority of the posts are original and brand new. We cover a nice selection of actionable prompts, themes and topics:
- Bible verses study
- Christian worship
- gratitude practice
- faith-building
- shared travel experiences
- tips on self-improvement
- selfless acts of service
- laid-back games
- spiritual meditations
- generic, and directed prayers
- praise practice
- scenic and natural wonders/impressions
Within the specified rules, anybody can participate. The comment sections are open for reports, feedback, and the exchange of ideas. Every person making their post is responsible for their content. We simply are offering a platform and ways to get a smidgen closer to God
Our name
Our name is a composition of two parts in 4 words: Online, Bible Study, and Obsidian.
OBS
OBS can stand for Online Bible Study and also for the first 3 sections on this website: Our Betterment (Blog) Smidge
In the naval language an “obs” is the shortcut for an observatory.
OBS are the starting letters to the verb “to observe” which means watch but also practice. They are also the first 3 letters in the name “obsidian”
Obsidian
Obsidians are a family of semi-precious minerals formed when volcanoes erupt. They are natural volcanic glass, which is sometimes laced with visible spots of feldspar. In Obsidians, we witness a transformation. Therefore, this stone embodies – like very few others – a transformation process: from the liquid hot lava to volcanic glass, and later to feldspar. Thereby, this stone represents an eventful journey. We believe that everybody is on their own eventful journey through life. It is our hope, that by choosing this transformation stone as the name patron for our Online Bible Study Obsidian we may either initiate or propel good changes in the lives of those who visit.
