I double that Arcturus!!! THANK YOU RICKY, for the very kind response as well. I agree, you all are my only family and all that I will ever fully need as well. I would be lost without all of you...like a fish out of water!
Aha, my husband is a local cement truck driver with his CPD (certified profesional drivers' liscence.)
I am very impressed with you Ricky! You have really done an excellent job in teaching yourself to do all of the things that so many kids take for granted! And to have a disability and yet to have done so well in all of these areas tells me that HE is truly with you! ;D ALL OF US HERE @ BT(you included) knows how difficult it was to get here; that each and everyone of us have had so many obstacles to overcome in order to be given these precious jewels! It's literally been taking one straw at a time out of that giant haystack and patiently waiting to find that needle in the haystack...for all of us here; we have all laboured and have been found worthy to know these hidden treasures! Praise God! Personally, I think that education can tend to skue the spiritual side of life if one is not very careful.... ;)
Thank you brother and God bless you too!

Hi, folks
Just wanted to put my thoughts up for grabs.
Everyone's post on this subject is a very interesting thought. I would like to share mine and Paula's with you. Any time Paula and I see the numbers 0 through 9 in triplicate it is always worthy for us to say, "thank you, Father". It seems like a reminder for us to keep him on our minds throughout the days and nights. This is what the numbers mean to me and what the remind me of when I see them. But for some reason the number 111 or 1111 shows up more than all the others together (even during the night the clocks in the house shout them out to us ). We never say Amen because we're never through - we just thank Him for our many bounties and each breath we take.
When I see the ace, it reminds me there is but one God - the numeral one is used 1,497 times in the scriptures.
When I see the two,it reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts - the Old and New Testament
When I see the three, it reminds me of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
When I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who preached the Gospel - Matthew, Mark, Luke & John; and I see the four weeks in each month.
When I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps. There were ten of them; five were wise and were saved. Five were foolish and were shut out.
And when I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God made this graet heaven and earth.
And when I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from his great work. And also Jesus bled from seven different areas on his body while on the cross. His head from the thorns, his back from the flagellum, his hands bled from the nails that held him to the tree, his side bled where they pierced his side with a sword, his feet bled when the spike pinned him through the feet to the cross of Calvary. Seven times perfection - that is what it means to me.
When I see the eight, I think of the eight righteous persons God saved when he destroyed the earth - there was Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives.
When I see the nine, I thing of the lepers our Saviour cleansed and nine out of the ten didn't even thank him.
And when I see the ten, I think of the Ten Commandments God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone.
When I see the number 365 I think of the number of days in the year.
When I see the number 52 I think of the number of weeks in the year.
And when I see the number 13 I think of the number of weeks in a quarter.
So, you see, my forum friends, all the numbers can mean different things to different people. But I believe that all those that pray when they see "1" or any combination thereof, then that number means the same to all people.
In Christ's name, Paula and I love all people who will let us.

Very good Dewey and Paula. I think of most of those things as well. Thank you for the info on the number one/eleven...it means unity to me and then when it comes in triples , I too pay particular attention to everything around me....
