We just passed that milestone a few minutes ago in Eastern time zone without much fanfare.

We lost our first sibling, a brother, two years ago today!
As David said about the child he and Bathsheba lost, I cannot
bring him back, but I can go to him.
We cannot bring our loved ones who have crossed over back.
BUT we can go to them. WE, everyone without exception will
also, in time, cross over to the other side!
FYI: today is 09-09-09. For the Bible scholar, the number 9 is representative for finality and/or judgment. Thus it is used to communicate completeness and the judgment of man and his works. An example of this is: Jesus was crucified at the third hour of the day (9:00 AM), and died at the NINTH hour of the day (3:00 PM). At the NINTH hour there was darkness over all the earth.

The Bible is open to those that want Truth, and if they want Truth, they find Truth. They watch individuals squabble over Bible symbolism on the Internet, and leave the Message boards to enter into the real world where live people dwell, and they find Truth. The World Wide Web is full of Internet Ayatollahs who speak their mind. There is only one Truth, and it is not hidden. No matter what anyone says, Truth still converts the sincere. -DD Benincasa, 12/06/03
