27… not really a famous number. If you do a simply Google search of “27″ you come to find that 27 is a perfect cube being 3³ = 3 × 3 × 3. 27 is therefore the second smallest cube of a prime number. Now why you would ever want to know that I have no idea.
27 is also a decagonal number. This simply means that its a polygon that has 10 angles and 10 sides. WOW
27 is also the title of a recent film. I never saw the film (although Abigail did) – really don’t want to see it either.
But, 27. That’s how “old” I am now. Kindof surreal. I’m closer than ever before to 30… this is odd.
My mother had me when she was 27… really odd.
My birthday was on Mothers Day – again… not really that upsetting, actually quite fun to share it with the woman who played an important role in bringing me into this world
Strangley, it’s been a rough couple of days. Kindof in the “dog-days” as Spurgeon so eloquently placed it. Nothing that compares to the “rough times” many others close to me are traveling through in recent days, but the days still hurt.
But as I’ve really been reflecting my days and more interestingly my life i’ve come to think on what matters most to me. What and where I want to pour my life into. And then I read this from Erasmus today:
I simply want to offer with earnestness what moves my soul.
I may be taking this out of context (the context was how he’s about to defend free will) but I applied it to me with this simple question:
what moves my soul?
So, I’ve asked myself this question of what moves my soul? all day… and I quickly landed on these things:
the glory of God
His renown
His kingdom
His Gospel
These things move my soul. These things stir my hearts affection for the One, Jesus.
So, may we with earnestness invest in those things that move our souls… that draw us with full affection and joy to the King. That is where I want my life to be drawn into. That is where I want to be.
What moves your soul? mc
