I am not a math person. I’ve heard the joke that goes like this. There are three kinds of people in the world: those who are good at math and those who aren’t. I can relate to that. But I do like numbers, because numbers mean something. Like these

10 – That’s how many years it will have been tomorrow since the terrible and tragic events of 9/11. The world changed forever on that day.

4 – That’s how many hits I had on my blog on Thursday, according to the good people who keep track of these things at WordPress.

0 – That’s how many times I’ve thought about giving up writing my blog. Heck, I’d do it even if it were just for me.

1,000,000,000,000 – That is how many second chances you get from God and how many times you can totally mess up and fall down and still get forgiveness and grace.

0.00 – That’s the percent of the chance that God will ever give up on you.

110 – That is the percentage of how much God loves you, is in love with you, and is just plain crazy about you.

20- That’s how many years it’s been since I graduated from high school.

1- That’s how many steps to take at a time, how many deep breaths to take, and how many days to survive to get through the hard stuff. Just 1.

66- That’s how many love letters from Home you get from God. They are all worth reading.

86 – It means to remove or to end something. Like this blog.

Thanks again for reading. I hope more than anything that these blogs will help you see that what matters in this life is knowing two things: 1) that you belong to your Abba Father and 2) He is still very fond of you. If I can get you to believe that, then I will count this blog a success.
