777


Seven is big number in the Bible, it appears over 600 times. Most suggest it represents completeness or even perfection. Maybe the Dow closing 777 points down is the demonstration of a perfectly complete failure and now we get to begin again. Recalling a favorite fragment of a Bible verse and line from the West Wing, "joy cometh in the morning." The rest of the verse may be less comforting but no doubt familiar. "For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Usually BC forbids the quoting of a single out of context Bible verse but it is an extraordinary day and we all need as much encouragement as possible to stave off the demons of anxiety that come from glancing at our bank accounts. So as we join together in line for applications to become WalMart greeters, we continue to hope and pray. Hard. Pray very, very hard.
