  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Mathematical Perspective on 101%

"A friend sent this to me. I had never seen it done like this before. I thought it was great and hope you feel that way as well.


From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%?
Another way of putting it, 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.
(you're following me on this one, right? I mean, it's not too hard, is it?)

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%

Aren't you impressed?

NOW, 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
are important and will even get you close,
and that ATTITUDE will get you there,
it's the LOVE OF GOD that will put you over the top!"
