The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays. Søren Kierkegaard.Prayer that gives God the most penetrating access to our depths is prayer that is offered in stillness.

This is all part of training the brain to invite Gods presence to be your still point, to help you centre. Engraved on the side with the date '1871', compasses and dipper. Elaborately crafted, knobbed brass plumb bob. To come as a dear friend and sit with you and say ‘I’m with you, let’s do this together’ RM BR6KEG A ceremonial plumb bob and skull of a freemason lodge, German, 19th century. You may think you can handle all those thoughts and feelings yourself. That you can problem solve and control the winds and storms hitting your life. Next, take a very careful measurement from the plumb bob weight’s tip to the vertical surface. Then, measure the distance from the string to the wall (this may require a ladder).

You may well want to take charge, be in control. Tie the plumb bob onto the end of that nail and allow it to come to a full stop (the weight on the end will likely cause it to sway slightly). In fact, it may seem totally unnatural to you. This is an exercise that you need to train yourself in. “The Lord is with you, you mighty warrior.” Judges 6:12

This sense of ‘with-ness’ brings incredible feelings of peace and quiet to my mind. In particular, I like to focus on the words ‘I am with you’.

So how do we keep a plumb bob still on a windy day? Then when the gust of breeze stops, the plumb bob swings back the other way. The wind moves over it and pushes the string line away from vertical, from being centred. They stay straight and true, but when any wind comes along, that thin string and the weight on the end can act like a sail. Plumb bobs work really well when there is no wind. That string line would just float around with any little breeze. Imagine a feather being placed at the bottom of the string. The weight at the bottom had to be heavy enough to hold the string taut. The force of gravity acting on the weight would create a vertical taut string line from which they could measure their wall against. This is a heavy weight tied to a piece of string. Recently I was speaking on a podcast and suggested that it’s like a pendulum swinging back and forth, but actually, I think I can refine this down to an even better picture.īack in the old days, and still today, when builders wanted to check to see whether the wall they were building was vertical they would hang from the top of the wall a plumb bob. It swings into depression, anxiety and then back into depression. In the best of worlds the colour of the light the lamp emits would change to match the lamp recol, but that's above my current modding level (I know it can be done, but I'm no Numenor), so no matter what mood your plumb bob lamp is in it will still have the same, yellowish light, like in the picture with the Sim.There are times that my thoughts and feelings seem to swing like monkeys in a tree. The good news is that the glow will stick, so the lamp will still have the same colour glow the next time you turn it on - but you can of course change the glow again if you you want a different one. The glow will not change automatically when you change the recol, though you will have to see to that yourself by using the "Change Glow" menu option when the lamp is turned on. When turned on, it rotates slowly counter-clockwise (you know, like a plumb bob), and of course it also has the plumb bob glow. The Plumb Bob Lamp comes in the same colours as, well, a plumb bob: green, green yellow, yellow, orange, red and platinum. I wondered that, too - it seems like something Sims would have. The green recol of my GAVIK lamp reminded him of a plumb bob and it made him wonder why there aren't any plumb bob lamps.
