The Star of Freedom (Ursa Minor — The Little Bear)

Polaris,

the Northern Star,

guiding the way to freedom,

constant and unwavering.

 

The Lodestar,

an ancient word for guiding light,

Polaris pierces the dark with steadfast flame—

 

helping me fight,

fight, fight with all my might,

faithful and steadfast,

in His Light.

 

The Maker of all creation,

the King with whom I walk—

Jesus, my Redeemer.

I will not stray,

but give thanks and pray,

 

The name above every name.

 

We love you,

because like the innumerable stars

in the vastness of the night sky,

you bless us every moment in our lives.

 

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
