FRIDAY THE 13TH...what about it really???


So what exactly is it about Friday the 13th that gets some people so worked up? Historically, Friday was considered an unlucky day and the number ''13'' was considered an unlucky number and ever since, it just basically stuck.

Apparently there was this Rossini guy who took the whole Friday the 13th thing seriously i.e considered it an unlucky day and ironically he actually died on a Friday 13th. Truly, death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)

There are a million and one theories on Friday the 13th. As far as am concerned, its just theories and nothing concrete. What baffles me is how modern day society seems to have taken it seriously. There is even a name for the fear of Friday the 13th. It is known as ''friggatriskaidekaphobia''. Lol, wait what? Furthermore, studies have shown that about 21 million people in the United States are affected by the fear of Friday the 13th to the extent that it affects their normal everyday life, wow! Generally speaking, people are known to be more careful on Friday the 13th.

Well I woke up this morning thinking ''OMG its Friday the 13th, I had better drive carefully or just not go to work at all today'' . See how so very easy it is to fall into that trap? Instead, I said a quick prayer and snapped myself out of it. I am covered with the precious Blood of The Lamb.

So guys, let's not get too carried away with such things. It's all just folklore, myths and things along those lines. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah...
