32
" For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD,
plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11
The number 32 is special
The number (atomic) of germanium (not the flower)
The number of completed, numbered piano sonatas by Ludwig
van Beethoven
The number of pages in the average comic book (not including
the cover)
The number worn by Jon Matlack, one of my favorite NY Mets
1977
The number code for international direct phone calls to Belgium
Yes, the number 32 is special...32 years ago I received an
invitation to the rest of my life.
I started traveling with a not-so-famous Christian Rock Band
called Charismata (if you do a Google search...you won't find us). We were
having a series of concert gigs in Vahalla ,
NY
As we were pulling into the church parking lot with our big
bus, I had no idea I was going to meet my future but there she was. Christine
Marie Breden was just one of the many faces in the crowd that day, excited to
help bring a Christian band into her church and perhaps touch people's lives.
She, of course, had no idea her life was about to change as well. It seemed
random, our meeting...like the random facts above but the truth is...
God orchestrated two lives into one.
32 years ago a banged up knight met his beautiful princess
and two years later I married the most beautiful soul on the planet.
That future and hope thing is working just fine for me.
