A quote of note from good friends of ours:
If we do not pursue righteousness, how else will we be reminded every day of the need for God’s grace to obtain it for us?” – Erik Engstrom 3/14/2009 (Pi day)
I think the statement can stand alone on its own merit, but is it weird if I admit that part of the reason I love this quote is because of how it’s dated? Did I ever mention that I was a math whiz as a little kid?
Pi day? Is that a holiday? Pi Day, with a capital D? I think it is now.
Drat. We just missed it, but just wait til next year! Wait – we didn’t miss it. We had apple pie for breakfast on Pie Day! How fitting is that? I think this is the start of a beautiful tradition. My kids might even come to appreciate pi rather than hating it like they do now.

I love Pi day also. I announced at dinner that Grandpa would got out and get a Pie if one of the kids could figure out why it was Pi day. And they did! But I did not clear it with Grandpa first and so, well, no Pie.
Of course what a glorious day it must have been early in the morning on 3/14/1592 at 6:53:58 seconds. The ultimate Pi day. Of course I have no idea if any one had figure Pi out to 11 decimal places by then.
I really have to wonder about the accuracy of their timepieces back then too.
We celebrate pi day every year. This year one of my daughters made Oreo Pie.
I’m so torn. I love pie. Can’t wrap my head around pi.
Personally I hate Math But.. I will be partaking in the Pi Day Celebrations Namely Eating the Pi!!!
What’s funny is that on the evening of 3/14/09, I realized it was Pi Day as I was taking two PIES out of the oven. I laughed about it, and my husband called me a nerd =)
