Once in a Blue Moon

2010 is starting out as a year to “pay attention”. What do I mean by this? Well as I stated in my other post today, today is a palindrome, however New Year’s Eve was a Blue Moon. A blue moon is when there are two full moons in one month. Technically the blue moon was on December 31st, but since it carried over to January 1st, I claim it for the beginning of the New Year.

This is another example of the Lord getting my attention. On December 13th I was at our church Christmas Dinner and someone at our table mentioned Smurf’s. I asked if this person knew when a Smurf was born and he said no. I proceeded to explain that Smurf’s are born “Once in a Blue Moon”. The discussion then turned to what a Blue Moon is and we all impressed ourselves with our vast knowledge of useless information.

Little did I know that just a few days later on the 31st, there would be a Blue Moon. I must admit it’s been a while since I’ve spoken to the Smurf’s, I didn’t even know they were expecting. Hey wait a minute! We had the discussion on the 13th and it happened on the 31st. Another palindrome, 13-31, whoa, this is way too weird.

So what does this mean? I have absolutely no idea! All I do know is two days in a row God has pointed out two unusual occurrences. Both happen rarely. Each is an anomaly and yet both happened back-to-back. This is pretty exciting stuff for a crazy geek like me. I can hardly wait to see what happens next, and it is only day two a what’s shaping up to be a very interesting year.
