today is 09-09-09 on the calendar. those who like numbers will find this date intriguing, much like the 08-08-08 last year.
of course, 08-08-08 is auspicious for the chinese as the '8' in chinese is 'pat' and sounds like 'phat' (prosperity). so, 08-08-08 is like triple prosperity!
so what about 09-09-09? '9' is 'kaw' in chinese. 'kaw' can be something concentrated or in slang something for 'good'. so, 09-09-09 is triple good!
maybe good day to get married (triple good) or good day to start a business venture (triple good). or maybe good day to finish thesis!!!

As for you on this special day, bless you with the longevity of strength to serve the LORD, youth to step forward to the third phase of your ministry-missionary (see, i remember) and wisdom to bring forth biblical illumination.
as for wedding bells (for myhomilia), i thought i heard them pealing from afar!
and to my limud, may you too have the '9' to finish your DTheol thesis, the '9' to carry out the OT teaching in STM after the reb is long gone, and the '9' to sustain family and working life together..
