It’s August 8, 2008 today. That means it’s 08.08.08. Today marks the official start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It also happens to be one of the most popular wedding days this year (like 07.07.07 last year). And apparently the number 8 is considered good luck in the Chinese culture. Not only that, the number eight often means “new beginnings” biblically because the root word for eight is “put off” as in “putting off the old man”. This marks a new beginning as we are born again and start fresh. So if you’re struggling with some stuff, let today mark a new beginning in your life! God bless!
