Mathematically Speaking

We saw this in a mid-week update from EJ's old church and thought it was worth sharing.

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 you answer these questions:
If A=1, B=2, C=3....Y=25, Z=26.
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%
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!
