The journey we started together 52 years ago has taken us on a long and winding road not unlike running a grueling marathon. In addition, we have often taken the road less traveled.
June 22 marks the spot. While just a civil ceremony, it's auspicious for a number of reasons, supported by Numerology and Sacred Scriptures

| The Journey |
The number sequences 222 and 2222 are powerful symbols of balance, alignment, and harmony. Seeing these repeating numbers is often interpreted as a sign that the person on the right path and need to trust the process.
Perfect alignment
While modern numerology calls 222 a sign of "balance and trust," biblical symbolism calls it a sign of "unity with God, confirmation of truth, and walking in faith." Both interpretations point toward finding peace, trusting the timing of your life, and knowing you are not walking alone. Our 52 years together are proof of that. It is amazing to see how our original 'two' that started on 2+2×2, 22 has grown: 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, and 2 twin grandchildren. God has blessed us with the perfect alignment of love and family.
Not a bed of roses
Hebrews explicitly frames the life of faith as a grueling long-distance event requiring pacing, shedding extra weight, and keeping your eyes on the goal: Hebrews 12:1-2: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith."
Like a runner wearing lightweight gear, we are instructed to drop unnecessary worldly burdens and distractions. The focus is not a short burst of speed, but lifelong endurance (perseverance). thorought the journey, at times we have experienced palpable footprints in the sand.
While to date, the journey has been arduous, grueling and painful, we've witnesses how the God of the Mountain is still God in the Valley and that joy comes in the morning.
We are now ready for the next leg of the journey and to complete the good fight, to finish the race, and to have kept the faith. Looking forward to getting crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award us on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." — 2 Timothy 4:7-8
