Mathematical Point of View

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

· What Equals 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 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you 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%

AND, 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, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Breast Cancer 3-Day

Hello everyone!

My cousin, Shannon Brandt, is walking in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. She is looking to raise over $2000 for the cause. Both our Grandma Mary Ann and Aunt Barb are breast cancer survivors. Our Aunt Patricia died at an early age from this disease. I was only one year old when she died, so I don't remember her. I am older than Shannon, so Aunt Patricia never got to meet Shannon. She is doing it for these women as well as for a good friend of hers. If you are interested in learning more about her and the cause or if you can donate, please use the following link:

If you are unable to support her financially at this time, please support her in prayer. Prayer is the most important thing!!!

Have a wonderful weekend (if I don't post again before that!) :-)
