Look at what Sackcloth and Ashes did today for 11/8/11.   LOL!   Maybe that is why my little niece was making rooster sounds on 11/1/11.   She was trying to awaken my family that we are about to go into the "temple."

By the way I hate both they dates of 8/11 and 11/8 with a passion!   8/11/2001 I was in a terrible argument with a man I loved very very much so much that I almost killed myself.   He left me and it was because of alcohol, I was not living right at all.    And 11/8/2007 was the day that my first husband and my divorce was finalized.

Do these numbers represent divorce and separation to the world?  Is your grandfather trying to tell you that the Lord is about to turn all our hurts into joy?
