Lovewillbringustogether’s Weblog

Love, Hope you are having some good down time, and just wanted you to know I thought of you today, and sent up a prayer.

LOL “there is more than one west coast on this planet!”

checking on you again..hope this thing gets up and running for you soon. If it takes a while..when you do get it working..Merry Christmas Love!

Hello? (Hello?) Anybody there? (Anybody there?)_

Cool, there’s an echo. (Coo there’s an echo.)

Come back! (Come back, come back, come back, come back……

I hear ya C!

why are there numbers beside our names in the blogroll???

are you implying that i’m 57 years old? seeing as how that STILL makes me younger than Tam, i don’t wanna complain.
but i feel the need to note that i’m actually the same age as Alece (who is not 26).

i’m just sayin!

Ahem! Mandy, did you think I wouldn’t catch you pickin’ on me just because youre on an “About” page!

Youngin’-when WILL you learn???

Mandy,mandy,mandy,mandy,mandy…

Wise, sage, old Bless’d Tam has taught me the error of my (vengeance seeking) ways.

I had hoped that you might have also had your ass whooped learned a valuable lesson from Her Graciousness but it seems the folly of youth continueth still

But since i can follow my Master’s widom i can forgive you anything and am happy to answer your slightly viciously loaded question.

The numbers, as you correctly suspected, are NOT representative of your age. Like Ed i am far too much of a gentleman (COUGH!) to ask a lady her age (how old is that exactly, Hun? ) nor would i ever stoop so low as to publish a lady’s age on the net for ALL the world to see (She turns the big Three-Oh next year folks!!!)

Clearly Ed has reached double figures by now surely?

No the Numbers are the number of your (most commonly used) name - Mandy in your case and not Amanda (34 - Ooooh!)

Total is derived from the addition of the ‘places’ of each letter in the English Alphabet (Queen’s english - 26, not Southern english - 19! y’aww)

M(13)A(1)N(14)D(4)y(25) (you may need to take off your socks to get to 26!?)With me nowfriend?

i’m with you!

i took my socks off and i’m laughing my @$$ off… especially bc you used THAT word here, AND actually published to the www that i’ll be turning 30. you are oh-so-subtle!!!

but, still, i’m left with a question: WHY numbers???

i’d wondered about them numbers myself. why the “wow” with my 26???

Mandy, come on. you just wrote out @$$ too - that is so funny!!!

Alece - I LOVE your pic!!!!!!!!

OH - G’day Love!

It’s lunch time there! What’s on the menu???

thanks, tam!

Leesh - i have answered this q once but am happy to do so for your eddy-fik-ation:

Wow! is because the numbers of your first name add up to the same total as G O D ! - 26!

Also, by pure coincidence, the total number of letters we use in our spoken language today (unless you speak American ‘Southern’ ).

It was this that most attracted me to compare numbers and letters (although i had done it as a kid when we were ‘into’ codes and code-breaking).

And to bring in Mandy’s q here…

We understand things because of various ‘base’ systems.

Our most common ‘bases’ are 10 and 26 in the English speaking world today.

Our numbering system is a decimal, digital (man has 10 digits) base 10 system
while our spoken word is an alphabtical (base 26) system. Our computers use ONLY a binary (base 2) system to do all the things they do for us in our communications/use of them.

Occasionally i can find ‘useful’ patterns that are not obvious in one system by transposing things into another system

For example: seven(7) in base 2 is: 111;
Christ in base 10 is: 77; and
111 in base 26 is ‘G’

Music that is most often used in our culture is a ‘base 7′ coding (7 notes) although it also has 5 semitones.

I happen to think that all things are ‘connected’ - in one way or another

Mandy - WHY numbers? 2 reasons:
1. i LIKE them - they never lie (we humans can make mistakes but the numbers always ‘make sense’ to me.
2. Rev 13:18

i’m just sayin…

Love - Alece, you need to go hi-jack Miss Mandy Pants WW!

I’m fading fast here - I need something to work with over there…

hurry!

Love you Love!!!

you too Alece!

Glad to see I’m not the only one picking your brain about the numbers.

Brandy! get your butt over to WW too!

love you girl! I hear you laughing

heehee
Hey I’m there! LOL

my gosh my brain hurts.

Love, i’ve just gotta take your word for it. numbers are important, and important to you. unfortunately, i don’t even know music theory - so the analogy was LOST on me.

i hang my head in shame.
but NOW i know where everybody came from to finish out WW last night!

your brain works very differently than mine!

(and tam - i’m sorry i didn’t get your message till now — i totally would’ve been in on the ww action… stupid east coast time zone.)

Love, I have DECIDED that we need a full face picture of you. I’m just sayin….. haha!

Yes, me, I have decided. So that’s that. heehee

Since you’re back on the numbers thing, I thought I’d share a discovery I made when doing the word study on ‘love’ that I referenced on another of your posts a while back.

The Greek work ‘agape’, describing God’s love that we are to have for one another, is the 26th word listed in Strongs Concordance of the New Testament (at least in the computer version of it that I have). That basically just means listing the words alphabetically (beginning with ‘alpha’ from the Greek alphabet), that word for ‘love’ was number 26 (that’s how you look up words in the concordance once you’ve found their number in a Greek/English interlinear translation.

I just thought it was interesting since your system also assigns God the number ‘26′, and from 1 Jn. 4:16, we know that “God is love” (’agape’-26 =)!

D-

D - I LOVE that! (and that you noticed it ‘for’ me) Thank you very much!

Leesh - Duhhh! i eat hamburgers outside IN :-)))

Mandy - YOUR brain Hurts??? You’ve only had to READ it - mine THINKS it - daily! i need sympathy! (and maybe a little profesional help?) Hang your head in shame? Head’s UP young lady - your talent puts mine into shame every time!

and i don;t know WHAT you are referring to? I don’t even KNOW a Sharon Mac!!! Whats a WW anyway?

Bandy (Sorry - after Ric’s comment that might take a time to get out of my head )
WEll… since YOU’ve decided - i’ll see what i can doo - only ‘cos it’s yoo though!

Well thanks Love! You must have vibed the batting eyelashes and loud laugh all the way over there! hahaha!

Little kids tend to call me Bandy b/c they can’t pronounce the r. haha

Came across your blog through Mandy’s. Really like your series on the seven sins. I really haven’t thought about those in the context of the Word and it was helpful to see what your research has resulted in. Looking forward to more wisdom from you on that and other issues Be blessed

Welcome G (GC? GCH??)

I am glad that my friends in cyberspace have been kind enough to respond to those posts as i have learned more about myself in the process and have learned more aspects of the ‘Sins’ than i knew of before and so can now have a better chance of overcoming them now that wareness is improved. Thank you for your words and i hope we also soon become friends. We are already closer because of Him!
