• The God Factor

  
  

  
  Reba McEntire on
  Make a Difference Day:

  “Kids who may never get out of their town will be able to see the world
  through books. But I’m talking about my passion. What’s yours?”

  “There is the God factor….”

  – NickyJett, Xanga comment

  “‘What is this Stone?’ Chloe asked….

  ‘…It is told that,
  when the Merciful One

  made the worlds, first of all He created

  that
  Stone and gave it to the Divine One

  whom the Jews call Shekinah,

  and
  as she gazed upon it

  the universes arose and had being.’”

  – Many Dimensions,

  by Charles Williams, 1931
