Weekly Devotional "Beauty of Numbers"

Dear Readers,

Hope you are well. The days have been cold and grey here in Milk River, I haven't been feeling too good, and everybody is starting to wish for Spring to come!
So being stuck inside with a cold, I decided that it might be a good idea to clean out my desk drawers and closet! well, I found something really cool that a friend had sent me a while back, and immediately thought I would share it with all of you! :) Enjoy!

The Beauty of Mathematics

1 x 8 + 1 = 9

12 x 8 + 2 = 98

123 x 8 + 3 = 987

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765

123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

  1234567 x 8 + 8 = 98765432

  123456789 x 8+ 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11

12 x 9 + 3 = 111

123 x 9 + 4 = 1111

1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111

12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111

123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111

1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111

12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111

123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

1 x 1 = 1

11 x 11 = 121

111 x 111 = 12321

1111 x 1111 = 12334321

11111 x 11111 = 123454321

111111 x 111111 = 12345654321

1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321

11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321

111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now take a look at this......

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What equals 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

 Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5= 100%

Then, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4= 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, BUT...........

It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

God Bless
