A Soulful Journey

Numerologists  had predicted that President Ronald Reagan would die in office.  After all, every president elected in a year ending with a zero since 1840 had failed to complete his full term.  Lincoln Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy (1860, 1880, 1900, 1960) were assassinated.  Harrison, Harding, and Roosevelt (1840, 1920, 1940) died of illness while in office. Believe in God not in people.

Carl Sagan once explained the difference between an astronomer and an astrologer: “An astronomer can predict precisely where every star will be at 11:30 on any given night, but cannot say the same for his teenage daughter. For that, you need an astrologer!” When it comes to humans, rest assured they will give us pause, make us surprised, and teach us about living.

“Rabbi Yochanan taught: ‘Since the Temple was destroyed, prophecy has been taken from prophets and given to fools and children.’  -  Talmud,  Baba Batra 12b In making predictions for the New Year, remember to let God be God.
