Deborah-Leigh:
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! :D
Peace and love to you
Arcturus :)

Hello Arcturus, you said: "Arcturus, the "Bear Watcher," follows Ursa Major, the Great Bear, around the pole, "arktos" being the Greek name for "bear," from which our word "arctic" is derived by reference with the constellation of the Greater Bear."
Just a fun fact: In Romanian the word Urs means bear, Ursu means like 'The Bear' and Ursoaica means 'female bear'. Just figured I'd throw that in there since it's so similar to Ursa.. :D

To All,
Guys I have figured out a cool birthday presents for my son and husband this year. I am going to name a star after them. You can use up to 35 characters in the star's name. I am going to tell them, that God knows each star by name, and yes they too will have their own stars. I wanted to reinforce for the little one that saying, shoot for the stars, but as he will already have a star, then he can shoot beyond.
I wanted to give them something unusual and yet special. I am excited to do this.
Shhhhh, no one tell them this. ;D
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
Arcturus,
Wow, great post. So that's where your name has come from. Susan and I have been trying to figure out what it means. Twinkle, twinkle, little stars indeed. :D
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

Not to bring ya'll down but I want to share the significance of the stars to me. When I was a little girl, my bed was positioned so I could see the sky through the windows. I remember I had white curtains that my Mama had made out of an old sheet. Our windows were open in the spring and summer because it gets so-o-o-o-o hot down here. On the nights when the "bad things"(ya;ll know what I mean) would happen I could still see the stars. I could stare at the sky and sort of go away from the pain in my body. I looked up at the stars and thought how big the sky is and that somewhere there were children who were looking at the same stars and were happy and not getting hurt. I also looked up at the stars and thought that compared to everything else that was going on in the world.... my situation was such a little part. It gave me such comfort to be able to look up at the stars. God blesses us in so many ways that we can't even begin to count the blessings! Much love, Jennie

To All,
Well I did it. I got my hubby his birthday present. It will not be here until Monday. He now has a little piece of the heavens. We were watching "A Walk to Remember" and crying through it. ;D
Jennie,
Here in Lubbock one has to struggle to see the stars at night due to the city lights. Yet when I see them with no lights around, I am breathless. I love the stars. What an awesome God we serve. I forget what percentage of the night sky that we on earth can see or know of, but God knows these stars and all of them by name. Wow, and to think that he could love me. I am amazed. Thanks for sharing. I wonder what it is about the stars that have intrigued man and comforted man through all these ages?
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
