GOD's math

on Dwight leaving Dunder Mifflin [on 'The Office']:
Michael: It is a big loss. Dwight was the top salesman...
Andy: was the top salesman.
Michael: I said was.
Andy: Addition by subtraction.
Michael: What does that even mean? That is impossible.
Andy: mm...yeah, you're right.

Not necessarily! Addition by subtraction can be totally possible.

The Twins had a bunch of Christians on the team last year: Cuddyer, Redmond, Baker, Hunter, Lew (who's last name is Ford, but it's too weird to call him that cuz he's Lew), Tyner, LeCroy, White. (Those are the ones I know for sure anyway.) Of those eight, one left, two were traded, one was sent back to the minors as a free agent, and one retired; so five of them were subtracted from our Baseball Chapel. However, that just means that our Christian boys are now with new people, in new mission fields. By subtracting them here, maybe they are helping to add Christians elsewhere! :D HIS Kingdom grows when HIS people are scattered.








Addition by subtraction - totally possible with GOD. :)
