Giant Orb

Cathy wrote, "My husband took this picture in our backyard on August 13th.  We have always had orbs in our home, but this is the first like this we have ever seen.  Can you give us any insight as to what this one might mean?

Thank you for sending it to us.  The white light is actually made up of three large orbs and Mustafa said, “There is a state of tension within the home that is not there all the time, but the memory of it tends to be unsettling.  The orbs come in with a powerful energy source to return balance and harmony, where there has been this unrest. The orbs give you strength to do what is right and to say when situations get fraught.  They are happy to protect and bring love in to redress the balance.”

The One Great Scorer

“For when the One Great Scorer comes

To write against your name,

He marks - not that you won or lost -

But how you played the Game.”

(from the poem "Alumnus Football")

Peace Pilgrim

“We spend a great deal of time telling God what we think should be done and not enough time waiting in the stillness for God to tell us what to do.”

The Serenity of Perfect Security

“Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.  It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little.

“When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.”

William Barclay
