Today...

This shall be a long post. My aunt sent me something via email that I thought was really cool. Oh and I do have a blog after this, so make sure ya read all the way down.

Beauty of Math!

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...


101%

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 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.

If:

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


Isn't that interesting. I thought it was. I am really ready to change my layout. I don't need to, I want to.
In other news...Junior is feeling better and showing interest in food, but not eating it. So I had to force feed him, that is what the vet was going to do, so I saved myself some money (at least for today) by doing it myself. A lovely mixture of wet food, milk, and tuna juice. YUMMY, anyone hungry. My house smells lovely, as you can imagine. He got downright ugly sounding though, he didn't like me putting dropper fulls of stuff down his mouth against his will and wanted me to know it too. But, I keep going, because I can tell he feels better. I just wish he would eat. PLEASE pray he eats.

I miss Damon, duh, sure y'all knew that. Its every day life that is hard to me. It's not going to be a 6 month wait, or a year wait, he isn't ever coming back to this life. I know I will see him in Heaven, and it will be glorious. But now, I miss my husband. I miss day to day things, getting ready while he was getting ready. Taking care of him and fixing his meals. Grocery shopping trying to find the things he liked, laying next to him at night as we did our devotionals. I miss going to side jobs with him and watching him do what he truly liked. He was so amazing. I liked watching him sleep and the sweetness of his face. I loved his unassuming manner. He was who he was, humble and kind, he had nothing to prove. He was himself and honest before the Lord and that is so awesome to find in this world of you have to show off to be noticed, etc. His light shined daily, without him even trying. I love him. I miss him. I am so much better off for having known him, and for being his wife. I am so happy that he made his all time #1 goal, but honestly....I want him here with me. I know this was Gods will, but I know God understands that I don't LIKE having to live every day without Damon physically here. I don't like NOT waking up to him, I don't like it at all. This wasn't the plan for my life, or shall I say, MY plan. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever have happiness again. There are moments of happiness in my life right now, but nothing like life was with Damon. At times, it feels really unfair that people around you get to go on with life, and have their dreams coming true. If you have faced sorrow, you know how I feel. My friends and family are having babies...yet here I am without the man who would have made the most wonderful father, with no hope of having his children. God knows my future, and for whatever reason June 19th 2007 WAS Damon's time. It is hard to rest in the fact somewhere out there, there is a plan for me. There is a song I sing now....it goes like this...

I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won, only to find the war had just begun.

When Damon and I were brought together I thought that I had finally made it. I had finally achieved my dream, I was truly living out my day to day dream. I thought my loneliness battles were over and that I finally had the person in my life I had dreamed of. I never knew that three short years, 2 months and 30 days later...my war had truly just begun. But as the rest of the song goes..."Is He not strong enough, is He not pure enough, to break me, pour me out and start again. Is He not brave enough, to take one chance on me, please can I have one chance to start again." I don't know what my future holds, I don't know what tomorrow holds. But I know I want to hold the Keeper of tomorrows Hand. I guess that is enough reminiscing for the day. Ciao.
