An interesting observation (no offense intended)

On March 14th several folks here made reference to PIe day, myself included. PIe day has become a well known day by many, many people simply because of a date, a sequence of numbers, 3 14.
Today, for the same reason 3 14 was PIe day, is Christian day.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

PI the Greek letter, not a piece of pie. It is not a meaningless sequence of numbers.

The calendar consists of a whole set of number groupings X-YZ. Let some creative soul match of each set with a Biblical Quote. I suppose it has already been done, but it would fill in the day for those with lots of time on their hands.

May 8th from my college years:

Hooray Hooray for the eighth of May
Annual outdoor intercourse day.

It was a lot of fun if you got lucky.

π is a Greek letter. Where did meaningless come from? Your word not mine.

Let's not "major in minors." I think everyone knows what is meant. Pi and Pie sound the same. One is a concept and the other a dessert.

Lets see there are pi radians in a circle and as pi is a bit over 57 degrees, your pi serving of pie is a 1/6 slice. Some chiselers in restuarants insist on the 30 degree cut. Bleh.

Thanks!! A nice reminder that it's a free gift from God for merely repenting and Believing.
