I am not a numbers girl. I like letters and words. I will
happily play Scrabble or Boggle any day. Sudoku? No thanks! Give me the two Rs of reading and ‘riting. You can have the ‘rithmetic!
Sometimes words kinda jump out at me and make me give them a good ponder.
Recently, I found this video we have enclosed below of the actor Denzel Washington being interviewed. It is a short clip on his faith. He said a word and for some reason, it was striking. I don’t know why. We’ve sung this song with all its verses a bajillion times! But still, it hit me! The word? NUMBER.
Please give it a watch, as there are a couple of other really good thoughts. But at the end, he says he just wants to be in that number. When the saints go marching in. He doesn’t care if he’s the first or last or in the middle of that number. He just wants to be in it!
Good stuff! I found myself saying, “Me too, Denzel!” I want to be in that number, too! And because of God’s great love and mercy and grace and compassion, He made the way for all of us to be in it.
Turns out, I’m a numbers girl after all!
