A Refreshing Retreat!
Welcome
to Pi Ranch, a refreshing home of healing and growth in Jesus Christ.
Kim and Gary are dedicated to the encouragement & growth of others!
Over 55 different kids
have stayed with Gary and/or Kim over the last 15 years.
Kim spends much time blessing people here at Pi Ranch. She also sells Arbonne while running the Jabez Homestead in Auburn. Gary, the founder/director of pi ranch, has been teaching math and coaching football and/or wrestling since 1980, and yes, he still loves kids. He has worked with some great athletes, students, and teachers!
Some
Fun with Pi???
Pi = 3.14 (The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit, and a little bit of Us!)
Well we’re not the “Circle Ranch”,
but pi is definitely related to circles! The circle can represent unity, togetherness,
relatedness, and more. Pi is intimately related to the circle. Pi is the number that
represents the number of times the diameter of a circle fits around the circumference of
that circle. Pi is considered precise yet immeasurable as its decimal numbers go on
f-o-r-e-v-e-r (3.141592653589…).
"Probably no symbol in mathematics has evoked as
much mystery, romanticism, misconception and human interest as the number pi."
---William L. Schaaf
Because pi is irrational (like some kids and my wonderful wife at times), only God knows
its perfect value. It is also only God who knows the perfect value of a child. His son,
Jesus, rose from the dead in just under pi days!
Pi is almost pi% of pi less than twice the Golden Ratio.
Pi Ranch is dedicated to God and People.
Pi squared is very close to the acceleration due to gravity near the earth’s surface.
If this information seems to be a bit too much, just circle back and read it again! If
this information were written in a circle, the distance back to read it again would be
“pi x diameter”. But why circle back since a circle's end is just the beginning
all over again? Is anyone reading this? The word “ouch” has just over pi letters
and begins with a circular letter “o”. No, we did not name any of our animals/
children “pi”!
Oooooooh, let us not forget that one of our favorite words starts with the circular letter
“O”:
----------------------------ONWARD!
On a more serious note, the grace and love of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ continues
to circle back to this ranch as many times as there are decimal numbers in the wonderful
number pi!
