...is one cool preacher :)

I watched a half hour of his preaching tonight on the TBN, and he's alright.

Beauty of Math...

This is pretty cool...

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 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 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

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
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...



From a strictly mathematical viewpoint,

What Equals to 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?


Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%...

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to

GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals to 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answering 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


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

8+1+18+4+2 3+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%

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

The religion pole is anonymous, btw...

Please don't think that by participating, anyone
(including me)
will know what your religion is :)

So, please vote...

I'm just curious about the backgrounds of my visitors...
that's all.

Having trouble with my Religion Poll?

Use the Belief-o-Matic to figure out what religion you are.

What does freedom of religion mean to you?

I saw a bumper sticker today that said,

Freedom of religion
Means any religion

I'm a religious guy, and I firmly believe in this statement. I belong to a church that is often considered, by other religious groups, as one of those religions that doesn't deserve this freedom, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

What are your thoughts? Respond to my poll too :)
