For this we thank the God of the second chance. The ubiquitous image of the Wheel of Fortune found throughout the Middle Ages and beyond was a direct legacy of the second book of Boethius's Consolation.

The Wheel appears in many renditions from tiny miniatures in manuscripts to huge stained glass windows in cathedrals, such as at Amiens. Lady Fortune is usually represented as larger than life to underscore her importance.

The wheel characteristically has four shelves, or stages of life, with four human figures, usually labeled on the left regnabo I shall reign , on the top regno I reign and is usually crowned, descending on the right regnavi I have reigned and the lowly figure on the bottom is marked sum sine regno I have no kingdom.

Medieval representations of Fortune emphasize her duality and instability, such as two faces side by side like Janus ; one face smiling the other frowning; half the face white the other black; she may be blindfolded but without scales, blind to justice.

She was associated with the cornucopia , ship's rudder, the ball and the wheel. The cornucopia is where plenty flows from, the Helmsman's rudder steers fate, the globe symbolizes chance who gets good or bad luck , and the wheel symbolizes that luck, good or bad, never lasts.

Fortune would have many influences in cultural works throughout the Middle Ages. In Le Roman de la Rose , Fortune frustrates the hopes of a lover who has been helped by a personified character "Reason".

In Dante's Inferno vii. Boccaccio 's De Casibus Virorum Illustrium "The Fortunes of Famous Men" , used by John Lydgate to compose his Fall of Princes , tells of many where the turn of Fortune's wheel brought those most high to disaster, and Boccaccio essay De remedii dell'una e dell'altra Fortuna , depends upon Boethius for the double nature of Fortuna.

Fortune makes her appearance in Carmina Burana see image. The Christianized Lady Fortune is not autonomous: illustrations for Boccaccio's Remedii show Fortuna enthroned in a triumphal car with reins that lead to heaven.

Fortuna also appears in chapter 25 of Machiavelli's The Prince , in which he says Fortune only rules one half of men's fate, the other half being of their own will.

Machiavelli reminds the reader that Fortune is a woman, that she favours a strong, ambitious hand, and that she favours the more aggressive and bold young man than a timid elder.

Hence, what is opportune, or "Opportunity. Chantraine informs us , the term was also used as "time" or "season" the good time, or good season.

According to Pausanias , there was an altar of Caerus close to the entrance to the stadium at Olympia , for Opportunity is regarded as a divinity and not as a mere allegory.

This indefatigable traveler also tells us that Caerus was regarded as the youngest child of Zeus in a hymn by Ion of Chios ca. Caerus is represented as a young and beautiful god.

Opportunity obviously never gets old, and beauty is always opportune, flourishing in its own season. Caerus stands on tiptoe because he is always running, and like Hermes , he has wings in his feet to fly with the wind.

He holds a razor, or else scales balanced on a sharp edge—attributes illustrating the fleeting instant in which occasions appear and disappear.

Fairbanks translator of Callistratus suggests that the type of the statue of Opportunity was developed out of the form of the Hermes that granted victory in athletic contests.

And if someone were to think of other resemblances between Opportunity and Hermes, he might also ask the proverbial question: "Who makes the thief?

And persuaded that Caerus has a bad influence in the matter of thefts, humans spent huge resources and efforts in perfecting locks and keys and passwords and every kind of safety measures, with the help of which they hope to outwit Opportunity.

But as they lock some doors they inevitably leave others open. And as expected, the god goes on flying as swiftly as ever, providing amazing surprises to everyone, and making not only thieves but also lovers.

In addition, he produces every kind of such humans as are nicknamed "opportunists" on account of their ability to quickly seize whatever advantage the great seducer Caerus appears to offer them.

The 2nd thing recorded in connection with the creation was the introduction of a 2nd thing which was light. When the 2nd thing came into being, immediately there was a difference and there was a division.

The bible says that God divided the light from the darkness and the light he called day, and the darkness, he called night.

The 2nd person of the trinity took on 2 natures, perfect God and perfect Man. There are 2 testaments, the old and the new. There are 2 natures, the sin nature and the son nature.

The number two or second has significant meanings. Sometimes when we make a mistake in life it feels so final. I want to let you know that when you make a mistake in this life, with God you get another chance.

I know that the songwriter says that he is a God of a second chance, but can I tell you that he is a God of another chance. The bible that I read tells me that the God I serve is a God of mercy.
