Mathmatical Formula

May 6, 2016




What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?  Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100% -- or about people who ask you to give more than 100%

What equals 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help to 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 by the following numbers:

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:

K – N – O – W – L – E – D – G – E

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

And

H – A – R – D – W – O – R – K

8 + 1 + 19 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 19 + 11 = 98%

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

2 + 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 missionaries are always asking what words of advice I have to give them before they go home and begin dating again.  This sounds like great advice to me.

Quote of the Day


"Seek heavenly guidance one day at a time. Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it’s a cinch. Each of us can be true for just one day—and then one more, and then one more after that, until we’ve lived a lifetime guided by the Spirit, a lifetime close to the Lord, a lifetime of good deeds and righteousness." 

-President Thomas S. Monson

Quote of the Day - How Christ Works



“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.”


~ President Ezra Taft Benson

Be Good and Getting Better


I loved this quote from General Conference.  It fits right in with our mission theme.  "Bee the best you can bee!"  "Bee" the best you can "bee" today and "bee" a little better tomorrow.
