I live in apartment number seven at Tieckstrasse 7 and I take the Streetcar 
route
number seven into down every day which leaves every 10 minutes on the 7. I 
have
lived on the third floor for the past seven years in three different 
apartments. I will be
moving to another apartment on the 4th floor this year, so I will be able to 
say that the
whole "scenario of sevens" lasted for 7 years. Before that, I did drugs for 
seven years,
before coming to God. Pretty spooky all the threes and sevens in my life, eh?
Typological things do happen, particularly to people who are involved with 
God, like the
nation of Israel. And me. So is my life fictitious?

Sorry guys. I will be sure to put out a Hebrew post here in the next couple 
of days. I
just had to get that one out.
