333

If you have been around me in the last year, you have probably wondered why this story has not been included. The reason is, this story and the next story "Even Though" come as a pair. The 333 story cannot stand without "Even Though". I knew I was not to write about 333, but I thought it was because it was not significant enough, and I was right, it is not significant without the "Even Though" story.

Before the brain tumor I would wake up in the middle of the night for one reason or the other and I would always look at the clock. I am sure you have done the same thing. One night I woke up and the digital clock said it was 3:33AM. I have an atomic clock that automatically sets itself with the time at the Naval Observatory Time. The clock is always correct, that's the point of an atomic clock. Over a period of weeks, I noticed I woke up at 3:33AM quite often. Sometimes driving in my truck in the afternoon, I would glance at the radio's clock. You guessed it; more often than not it would be 3:33PM. Always exactly 333, never 334 or 332, I was a little freaked out. What did it mean? Did it mean anything? After my brain tumor surgery the 333 thing still occurred but much less often. Was I just obsessing? Was 333 a sign to get my life in balance or else? And now that the "or else" had happened; I didn't need the 333 warning anymore? I don't know.

Lately I learned I am not the only one. A friend of mine, Ray has a wife named Lisa with the same 333 thing. I don't know the details of her story or even if there are details. But at least I know I am not alone.

I told the story to my friend, Wayne. Wayne is Catholic. Wayne related the story to his priest, who conjectured the 333 stood for The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. That guess made me feel better; but what was the significance of the message? At this point you probably have your own opinion. Last night I think I was shown the significance and meaning of 333 for me. The rest of the story is revealed in the in the "Even Though" story which I will write later. Check back.
