The Golden Ratio : The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number

New fun math quote.... read only if you want to roll your eyes at me...

The concept of number is the obvious distinction between the beast and man.  Thanks to number, the cry becomes song, noise acquires rhythm, the spring is transformed into a dance, force becomes dynamic, and outlines figures. 

Joseph de Maistre, 19th-century French philosopher

Too many things to think about...

So, I made a statement in a conversation with a friend not too long ago.  I said that I felt confident enough in my knowledge of the Scripture and of God that it would be hard for me to fall into believing some of the false teachings that are currently floating around in popular literature and science.  The statement has plagued me ever since then.  That thought has also been accompanied by a Scripture.  1 Corinthians 10:12, "So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"  It is so easy for me to depend on my own strength....even my strength in understanding.  I realize more and more each day that passes by that I really don't have a clue about anything.  It's a little unsettling. The good thing is that it forces me to depend on God.  I've been reminded a lot here lately that if it wasn't for Him holding tight to me, I probably would've fallen away long ago.  Thank you Jesus for calling me, changing me, and keeping me.  Without you I would have nothing and be nothing.  Continue to hold me tight to you.  Remind me of your majesty, love, and especially the truth.  May my confidence and understanding come from you!

to study or not to study.....

....that is the question.  At least it has been for me in the past few days.  There are some very influential people in my life encouraging me to get my Masters in Math.  On one hand, I could think of nothing better.  On the other, I'm terrified of grad school.  Grad school and I don't have the best track record.  And there's the whole, I'd have to go part time thing.  And commute..... Big undertaking to commit to.  And I think if math were to invade my world any further, it might drive everyone I'm around nuts.  Guess I'll just be patient and wait on the Lord's direction.  I'm not very good at waiting though...

Halfway there...

I realized today that I've been in and through a lot of states (28 to be exact...54%....i spend too much time doing math ).  So, courtesy of a friend, here's the map of where I've been (in red) and where I've yet to go.

Friday is here!  I'm so glad for the weekend.  I love my job...but sometimes a break is good.
