Today is October 10, 2010. Or, in the boys' lingo, 10/10/10 - and it is 10:10 pm. So we get that wonderful string of numbers, 10:10 10/10/10! Over the next few years there will be other great dates, and many people have already figured this out. A friend of mine told me her daughter tried to get a wedding space reserved for 11 am on 11/11/11, but it was already taken. Of course, there will always be 12/12/12. Another good choice will be 9/10/11. Or 10/11/12. You get the idea.
Numerology is a fascinating subject. There are still materials out there about how numbers play a role in the writing of Scripture. I forget all the details of this interesting topic, but it runs along the same line as every sentence adds up to the same number, every chapter has the same value, etc. There is even speculation that the perfect language is math.
Musically, there is much written about the symbolism of numbers in particularly Baroque music (Bach especially) where, for example, in music about Peter denying Christ, the number 3 figures prominently - the number of instruments, the harmony based in thirds, the leaps in the melodic line being thirds, the number of phrase repetitions being 3, etc. Fascinating stuff even if the composer was unaware of future interpretation that would be pressed on top of the music.
Well, bottom line - where were YOU at 10:10 10/10/10? Me? I was home with Drew and Sugar enjoying a bit of rest and relaxation.

I was home relaxing with the husband, watching TV. It was a good day. We started a church plant on 10.10.10 at 10am! And 200 people showed up for the first service. It was good. How are you my friend?
