Science 101?
(CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)
I was a weird kid who liked science class, but because I chose a GED before my graduation, I’m not certain if I would’ve liked chemistry. I mean, I know people who want to memorize the entire periodic table. That is not on my to-do list. What about you, reader? Are you a chemistry nerd, or are you like me in just learning this moment (because I’m telling you) that the atomic number of titanium is 22?
Apparently, in the midst of every bit of matter, there exists a tiny galaxy of protons, neutrons, and electrons spinning around inside atoms. The number of protons gives that matter its unique atomic number. And in numerology (the belief that numbers are symbols), 22 is supposed to be a number that represents the balance of strength and peace.
I don’t recommend going too deeply into number meanings since much of it is tied to mysticism and witchcraft, but there are some numbers in religion that we see straight from the written Word of God, like 7 being a Sabbath or rest for people and fields.
I think most people have favorite numbers for whatever reason, and I’ve always been one to like the number 7 as the main one. And because I like numerals that add up to 7, I often set my alarms for minutes like 16 and 25 instead of on the hour or half-hour. It’s just a quirk that makes me feel a little better when the wake-up voice speaks the time.
So, did you ever hear of, or celebrate, “2Twenty2 Day”? It only goes back to the year 2010, so until I looked for happenings on February 22nd, I’d never heard of it before. But it gave me an excuse to design a titanium heart image in my Wombo Dream app.
Oh, I do remember a show that was on when I was a kid called “Room 222,” and maybe it was named for one of the actor’s or producer’s birthday or other special day on Feb 22nd. If not, and if you know why they chose that for the classroom number, feel free to add that info in the comments. In the meantime, check the page at https://www.holidaycalendar.io/holiday/2twenty2-day or the one at https://holidaytoday.org/2twenty2-day/ to learn about it. Or maybe check out other special days for this week, like Tex Avery Day, the guy who created George Washington Bunny aka Bugs Bunny and his pal Daffy Duck. (Some sites put it on Feb 22nd and some the 26th. Since his date of birth was the 26th, I would guess that’s the correct date.)
And because I like to study Scripture, I did find some interesting verses at a few Chapter 2 locations in the Bible. Enjoy!
Isaiah 2:22 WEBUS
[22] Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

Proverbs 2:22 WEBUS
[22] But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
https://bible.com/bible/206/pro.2.22.WEBUS
Daniel 2:22 WEBUS
[22] He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
https://bible.com/bible/206/dan.2.22.WEBUS
Joel 2:22 WEBUS
[22] Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

2 Timothy 2:22 WEBUS
[22] Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Mark 2:22 WEBUS
[22] No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”

P.S. 🙏 The friend I mentioned with the cancer diagnosis back on Feb 6th (My Thornbush has Roses), has found out his tumor is inoperable due to its location on the back of his tongue into the throat. They were thrilled to report no cancer in the throat, but with chemo and radiation, this will be a really hard thing for them to go through unless God steps in and does a genuine miracle. I really hurt for this brother and his wife, and I request any person who reads this to please pray for Mark and Debbie to be able to be still and know how to hang on no matter what days are ahead of them. We know God got to these days before any of us, and we can trust that His plan is the best, but that doesn’t mean our flesh and its fears and worries will just leave us alone. But ANYTHING God will do for them, up to and including shrinking the tumor and eventually making him cancer free while still living on this earth, is a welcome blessing for them and all who love them. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏🤲🙏
