Why can't I remember

that e^x is the sum of (x^n)/n!


that 1/(1-x) is the sum of x^n


that cos(x) is the sum of (-1)^n(x^2n)/((2n)!)


that ln(1-x) is the negative sum of x^n/n

Good email forward. Though I didn't check the math.

 Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical
formula
that might help.
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%


&
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!

I went to church today for the first time in months. And to tell you the truth, sitting there with my fellow churchgoers and watching them embracing their passion for God with their arms and hands held high, I felt nothing. nothing. I felt empty and a little out of place even. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m done with being part of a religion. I’m being foolish but I don’t want to be catergorized under ’Christian’ anymore. I just want to be a faithful follower of Christ. I want that fire for Christ back. I’m trying my best to be more genuine. Clearly I need some guidance becuase I’m one very confused child.    




Romans 12:5 (NIV) … so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 


1 Corinthians 12:27 (NIV) Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.


Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.


I am not here with all the answers, but we need each other. For me, part of that is going to church as a way to fellowship. Although I may not feel that I need to go, sometimes other people may need me.
