Hello John and fellow Doves.
I've been a faithful reader for a handful of years, not writing until now. I've wanted to do so, but have felt as if the timing wasn't right? I would like to share some of the dates of birth and anniversaries of some of my family members that correspond to world figures/events, the Jewish Holiday of Tu B'Av and a couple personal experiences.
Growing up I noticed that both of my parents birthdays were within ONE WEEK of two of their children's birthdays. I thought that was pretty cool, but odd. My birthday is January 20, which is of course inauguration day. While in elementary school I remember going to the gym to watch at least one televised presidential inauguration. My parents married on September 11, decades prior to 09-11-01. A loved one's birthday is August 4, the same date as President Obama's birthday, separated by ONE YEAR. Noting that I watched President Obama take the oath of office on my own birthday in 2009.
The Jewish holiday of Tu B'Av 2011 was celebrated beginning on August 14 and ended on August 15 -- my late Mom's birthday. Research that I've done show that Tu B'Av 2012 will begin on August 3 and end on August 4 -- my loved ones birthday, the same person that shares a birthday with President Obama. I continue to research Tu B'Av and found this link useful, with hopes of accuracy. http://www.aish.com/jl/hol/o/48955491.html Another loved one's birthday was a high watch date for The Rapture a year or two ago, March 18. Additionally, I have noticed that when I look at a digital clock of late the time is 12:34am/pm, 1:23am/pm and 2:34am/pm.
When I was a child my Grandparents had wood paneling in their kitchen. I clearly remember one of the "knots" looked like a ghost or something, to me. I told a family member and they brushed me off as a child with an active imagination. When I sent this email originally I had wanted to attempt to draw a picture of this image, the more I worked at it the closer I got to drawing what I could clearly see in my mind's eye. Then last night I suddenly remembered there was a picture that could possibly have the image in it! I looked through my box of old pictures and sure enough, there it was! ( I have drawn a circle/square around the image with the computer. I apologize for not knowing how to post a picture in the body of my email. ) This image doesn't haunt me or anything but I found it troubling and am still bothered by it.
I enjoy listening to a local christian radio station and was listening at home one day this past winter. Our daughter was being dismissed from school early due to weather so I drove to pick her up, tuning my car radio to the christian station. Wouldn't ya know it was very "fuzzy". As I got in the pick-up lane at the school and put my car in park I looked over to the parking lot and noticed the license plate on a car that I thought was pretty interesting, actually a little scary! The license plate read "666 GOH", I felt moved to take a picture. ( Again, I apologize for not knowing how to post a picture in the body of my email. )
One last thing before I close, with my apologies for rambling as well! I found the movie "A Thief in the Night" on YouTube and watched "A Distant Thunder" as it's continuation. I had this book marked for a couple weeks but "never had time" to watch it, actually both, until today. I wasn't surprised to see that some things from these movies hit pretty close to home.
I would appreciate input on if any of these things have spiritual meaning, or do I still have an active imagination as I was told as a youngster?
Thanks to each Dove that assist me to grow in the faith, along with His word, as we patiently wait to go home.
Thank you and God bless,
LMH
