Ursa Minor is a constellation in the northern sky, the name of which means Smaller Bear in Latin. It is colloquially known as the Little Dipper because its seven brightest stars seem to form a ladle, or dipper shape. The star at the end of the dipper handle is Polaris, the North Star. If you stood at the north pole, Polaris would be almost directly overhead. If you can spot Polaris in the sky, you can always tell which way is north. In addition, the angle of Polaris above the horizon tells you your latitude on the Earth. Because of this, Polaris was the most important star for navigating at sea. (copy-pasted from wikipedia. hehe.. hirap kaya nyan!)
For me, this constellation has always been the symbol of our friendship connection in Christ. It all started in our hometown church at Muntinlupa where we bonded and became as close as one could possible be. Sis Jen formulated the acronym J3MARC (one of these days, I will ask her of the history) and that has become a "for better and for worse" tag. Wherever you are guys, we're not that far away. We're still under the same stars!
As I look back now, I'm so happy to have met these people who have somewhat molded me to be what I am now. For our Pastor Raffy and wife ate Let-let of NBP Bible-Centered Fellowship and to the Praise and Worship Team at that time with ate Becky. Thank you. It's been, like nine years now, but I am still applying the lessons all of you have taught me. I still write my Prayer Journal occasionally. :-)
