Something that came to mind – today November 7 is Billy Graham’s 88th birthday.  I believe I’ve read something about the significance of 88, but also if you take 8 + 8 = 16; 1+ 6 = 7 and 7 can mean completion.  Interesting to have completion on the 7th and then the 8th as a new beginning.

Thanks, Janet. There are 88 days in one Mercury year.
