A Palindrome!01-02-2010
Help, I’m stuck in a Palindrome, am I coming or going? What an interesting way to start the New Year, January 2, 2010. If the date is written as 01-02-2010, it reads the same forward or backwards. Hmm, but for me that wasn’t the most interesting part of the day.
I ran out to do an errand and as I was coming home and approaching my street I noticed that my odometer was almost a palindrome. To be honest I didn’t remember the word palindrome but I knew there was a word. By the time I got into my garage the odometer read 49,994.0. I was excited because I get excited over silly stuff like this. I came into the house and told my hubby bubby “hey, my odometer reads 4-9-9-9-4, what’s that called when it reads the same way forward and backwards?” He being a smart guy said “a palindrome.” And I was, as always, impressed by his smarts. Then he proceeded to tell me about an article in the paper explaining that today is a palindrome.
I had not yet read the paper so I had not seen the article. I knew at that moment that I needed to take a picture of my odometer. When something like this happens I know that God is trying to tell me something. I have no idea what, but I know He is telling me to pay attention. I’m not one to keep tabs on my odometer so the fact that I even noticed is unusual. (Although in full disclosure I did notice when it turned 44,444.4 but that’s a story for another blog.)
The point is God got my attention and then confirmed it by the article in the paper. I don’t know what it means thus far but I’m searching. Hopefully He’ll quickly lead me to the information I’m supposed to glean from this, but maybe He won’t. If that is the case, I will enjoy the journey, which is often more interesting than the destination.
