13 is supposed to be unlucky, but I was born on that day, so I love it! I tried to get married on the 13th, but it fell on a Sunday and they didn't marry people on Sunday, so I had to settle for the 12th!

My best friend was born on the 13th (actually today is her birthday - though she's Australia so it's already the 14th for her), she always said 13 was lucky for her too.

The Lakota (Sioux) Indians have a prophecy about "the seventh generation," and also their "seven sacred rites." And the Bible says that Jesus said we should forgive someone "seventy times seven times."

My God is seventy times seven, Better than wonderful.
My God is seventy times seven better than good.
My God is seventy times seven better than an awesome God,
My God is seventy times seven better than anything you think of.

He parted the Red sea, Turned the water into wine
Walked in the fire with three, and he gave sight to the blind
he gave us the breath of life, the one the gentiles talked about
That made the lame to walk, and still there's those that doubt...

That my God is seventy time seven exceeding ubundantly.
My God is seventy time seven & I have no doubt
That my God is seventy times seven the prince & the king of kings.
My God is seventy time seven, better than... anything I could dream about.

So when I lift him up & I praise his holy name
He wont leave me down, He lifts me up just the same.
For he will never leave me, he said he will not forsake
So come lets praise my God, for he's so much more than great...

That my God is seventy time seven exceeding ubundantly.
My God is seventy time seven & I have no doubt
That my God is seventy times seven the prince & the king of kings.
My God is seventy time seven, better than... anything I could dream about.

It's unbelievable where all this number issue came to
Isn't the human species incredible? All this association things... and each person given their own view of the matter.
I simply adore this fact of human nature... and we may still have more, more answers.

matthew, It's early too early in the morning for all my grey cells to be firing correctly
In the piece you posted above what does the phrase 'walked in the fire with three' refer to?
I'm not remembering anything like that from my days being taught by the evil nuns.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego...

During his reign, Nebuchadnezzar II erected a statue of himself (or possibly of the Babylonian god of wisdom, Nabu[4]) and made a decree which commanded all to fall and worship the monument when the instruments played. The consequence for not worshiping during the music was death by burning in the city furnace. During the dedication festival as the music played certain officials noticed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego not bowing down to the idol and alerted Nebuchadnezzar.

Enraged, the king questioned the three. He provided one more chance for them to bow to the image and they refused. They cited their reason to refuse as,

"O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." Nebuchadnezzar ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than average and had the three tossed into it. According to verse 22, it was so hot that it killed the soldiers who threw the three into the furnace. "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spoke and said to his counselors, 'Didn’t we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered the king, 'True, O king.' He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. .' Nebuchadnezzar then ordered the three men to come out of the furnace, addressing them as 'servants of the Most High God.' When they came out the next verses say that "the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them".
