Doves,
On Friday, May 18, 2007, I went to fill up my tank with gas
at 3.19 per gallon. It topped out at 42.57, and I decided I would not
attempt to get any more in the tank.
After work, I decided I would go see Shrek the 3rd, but
trying to decide which theater and route to take was a challenge. I
wanted to see the earliest show possible, but not miss any of it, and made a
split second decision to head over the theater at the Riverwalk in Jenks.
As I made a right turn yielding to another car merging in from the opposite
lane of traffic, I noticed the license plate having the number 7542.
hmmm… What are the chances of seeing a 4 digit license plate with the
same 4 numbers as a gas receipt not in any particular order? 1 and 4,166,666.
Having more than one digit in the same order increases the odds to 1 and
25,000,000.
One of the previews that struck me as having prophetic
overtones was a movie believe it or not called HAIRSPRAY.
From the trailer:

It was a time of tradition, a time of values, at time…
People who are different, their time has coming…
To Shake Things Up!!
(Not in
Baltimore
it isn’t)
Come on Penny we are missing it… (as they turn on the
TV)
… Polly, Noreen, Doreen… and I’m…LATE….
(screaming)
(song in the trailer)
You cannot stop today
As it’s speeding down the track
Child yesterday is history
And it’s never coming back
Tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don’t know white from black
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
'Cause you cant stop the beat
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today
'Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop this paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
You can't stop the beat!
I don’t suppose that I will need to “explain”
it. If you can see the message that shines through the lyric, then you
can see what I see.
There is a sound that is playing, that beats to the rhythm
of Grace. To the one who finds the rhythm shall dance to the beat it
plays. There is a door that can be found if you listen to the beat of the
knock, Our master is there waiting just behind the door hidden in your
heart. How do you open that door you may ask? How do you find it’s
key? The scriptures reveal it’s an open door to those who show Grace
generously. For Grace is not in who you are, but it is who you shall
be. The Master is creating a masterpiece of Grace to show His majesty.
After the movie, I went to my singles group on Friday and
the singles pastors right at the beginning shared an experience they had with a
can of hairspray. Can you believe it?
The best I can figure the meaning of the numbers 7542 is the
Hebrew Strong’s:
7542h = Rakkon “the temple” of a man.
It is a well-watered place in Dan near Joppa. There
must still be some hidden goodies there. I don’t know all we will
find yet.
There must be a reason this number has come up more than
once. I did not realize it was a number noticed by anyone else until I
saw it mentioned for the first time by Dan.

What strikes me is the change of the number:
42.57 to 75.42
It is like that which is first, has become last. That
which was very least, has become the greatest.
Grace has changed the odds into our favor.
The 7 has now become the greatest by Grace (5) for the last
42.
That is what you call Shaking Things UP!!!!
