Today I found out a student of mine told another teacher how she liked how excited I get about proofs.The math is why I wanted to be a teacher to begin with. I get to do math all day! The math is my favorite thing about my job. It's encouraging to know that some students appreciate how much I love the math. It really is the language of the universe, and every day the math I know (even the easy high school stuff) enriches my life! Even today, I was reading Romans 5 where it talks about how suffering produces perseverance which leads to character which leads to hope. By the Law of Syllogism, when I persevere in suffering, I can rest in the hope that I'll have hope! It's amazing that I am assured of having hope of hope! Seeing the logic that if the suffering takes place, then there will be hope... this is all more meaningful to me when I think about the logic behind it and how the hope that I have in God is unarguable truth.
God Loves Math: In which I select a random Bible verse from a random Bible verse generator ( this one ) and ask God to show me a new way of understanding Him, honoring Him, and loving Him while using a mathematical mindset to approach the section of scripture. Today's Random Bible Verse Hebrews 3:4 "For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything." Oh, this verse is full of meaning when considered mathematically! (Although we see it much more when we look at it in its context.) Hebrews 3:1 tells us to fix our thoughts on Jesus, "whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest." Why should we do that? "Let's prove Jesus deserves it," is essentially the approach taken by the author. I can appreciate a good proof. 1) If someone is faithful, then they deserve honor. We know this is true because the Bible talks about Moses being found worthy of honor because he was faithful "in all God's house." 2) If Jesus...
