Many (maybe most of you!) who get pass around e-mail messages have probably gotten one in the past month about the "3-3-03" thing and the fact that it won't happen again for another thousand years!

Remember as a kid, your math classes and studying about 2 with the little 2 by its side (2 squared) or 3 with the little 3 ( 3 x 3 x 3), etc. As we got farther into math, it was maybe 6 to the "eighth power" (6 times 6, eight times, in case we forgot what we learned in math!)

Well, today could be a day of 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x ?????

Because of the pending world situation, we are asked to pray for 3 minutes at 3:03 p.m. (if you miss that time, it will be 3:03 in some other time zone in the world later!) Three is significant to Christians, because we believe in the Trinity - God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.

One e-mail added: Jeremiah 33:3 (notice the 3's!) - "Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know!"

Grab your calculator--by my count we have included 10 - 3's here; start with 3, multiple by 3. Take that answer times 3 and do it 10 times ( 3 to the 10th power!). By my calculation, the answer is 59,049!

Want to add one more 3 to the equation (equals 177,147!), at 3 o'clock today find youirself two more people to pray with you for 3 minutes. That's my goal for today!
