Author unknown: When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

Father I’m so low in spirit, and my soul is out of place, And this world is so confusing, so I seek Your precious face.  It’s just sometimes I feel like dying, For my sins I’m so ashamed, Now I’m asking forgiveness, I’m calling on Your...

While it was used very early by persecuted Christians in the catacombs, when Constantine I  was struggling to become emperor, he used the symbol at the front of his armies and was victorious. The story goes that in 312 AD, Constantine I (ruled 306 – 337) was about to lead his army in a battle with his enemy Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge outside Rome. The winner would become emperor of the whole empire. Originally Constantine had been a pagan, but he was worried about the coming battle. He says he started to pray to the “Supreme God” for help. There was a sign in the sky “above the...
