Not long ago, there was a television show on about numbers. I never saw it but I believe it was about this guy who was a professional with numbers, or something and he used numbers to solve mysteries. Sounds sort of crazy to me, but there was enough backing to put this show in TV and pay how ever much it cost to produce it.
I have always been intrigued with numbers. Christ was born on April 6th, died and was resurrected on April 6th, the church was organized on April 6th, and some say that He will come back for His Second Coming on April 6th, during conference? The number seven, the number three, the number 12, etc.
Why do I blog about numbers? Well today is a number that has significance for me. No, not the date, but the fact that there remains 213 days to our planned realization of our goal. I have always loved that number. Some are asking why?
Well, often I play chess on line and I am known to other chess players as wnp213. I have revered that number because it used to be the number that one of my favorite hymns was on. It was the number for "The Spirit of God.." It may sound crazy but that was the beginning of that number becoming sacred to me. When I sang in the Temple dedication of Mt.Timp, as you know, we sing a version of that hymn. In the dedication of the Jordan River Temple, while sitting in the temple during the dedication and during that song, I had a very special experience with my Father in Heaven. Whenever I sing that song, I feel to stand and shout the part, "We'll sing and we'll shout... with the armies of Heaven" I want to sing and shout with them one day. It is also one of the only choruses I have remembered in Spanish of my mission over 40 years ago.
It means many special things to me and my testimony.
The number 213 has always been special. And maybe I just made it so, but today was a great day of success in my work, in feeling the Spirit, and in knowing that Father is in charge of both of us, no matter what. I just felt His Presence with me today, on this special day of 213 until M Day.
