Thank you for your warm welcome words of encouragement Sue.
I have always enjoyed the stars from as way back as I can remember. I always thought that my bed room should not have a roof because the way to go to sleep was to be looking at the heavens that truly proclaim HIS glory. My soul just fills through the portal of my eyes when I look at the show God puts on for us all through His soulfully breathtakingly captivatingly beautiful and ever original sky’s that are barely noticed or looked up to as they should be, as they can lift me to heights of new perspectives when I get too stuck on ground floor downward facing, gravity.
It was a natural for me to want to choose my Forum name to be associated to a heavenly star name in the forum where our conversations should all but be proclaiming HIS glory! “Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky.” For me we are all as heavenly stars with Christ our Star of David.
Deut 1 : 10
The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of the heavens for multitude. Exodus 32 : 13
Earnestly remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.…..So I did a quick check of the star names and a brief search regarding their specific meanings. I did not feel comfortable to choose any other star name or meaning except Arcturus. When I found Arcturus, that was it! Only now, after interest in the Forum towards my Forum name have I discovered the appropriateness of this name because I often feel like I am from another galaxy, I often feel like I lag in my movements and am slow behind others, and I do feel like I am a Great Bear watcher. I do follow Ray and I do often feel just like Arcturus!… magnetically active with a hard-to-observe "buried corona."
HE has made a way for us to leave our former ways of living and to change our thoughts and attitudes. When HIS image is completed in us we will display our new natures to His glory and praise. We are being made into new creatures created in God’s likeness, righteousness holy and true perfection of HIS Love up above the world (carnality) so high, like diamonds in the sky….His seed stars now in HIS pottery studio of the universe being fashioned through the fiery trials of His furnace of Love.
Anne...as for any bears....I do not plan to fade out anytime soon but then again that is not up to me but as for bears, I love them and they are not a problem for me! The wolves and foxes...now that is another story!
Peace and love to you
Arcturus
