Happy PIE/PI Day!

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.

At my daughter’s high school, they celebrate PI Day by allowing students to make donations to pie teachers in the face during an assembly and each other throughout the day. There is an assembly where the teachers/staff are “pied” according to the amounts donated. All the money raised was donated to a chosen charity. Most students memorize 10 to 40 digits of pi, in 2019, a student recorded 1,050 digits, a new school record.

I saw a meme on Facebook with this message: “Love is not pie, hand out your eight slices, and then you’re done…love is pi, irrational & never-ending,” not unlike the song, “Reckless Love.”

Oh the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
It chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
And I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me

See you in worship!
