A cube, with all its three dimensions equal, is considered geometric perfection in classical mathematics and is a fitting tribute to the triune God who is ONE in all aspects of thought and purpose. A cube has six sides, six being the number of man in Bible code. Thus we see man in total unity with God, in the city of the New Jerusalem, even as we see that Jesus is both God and perfect man in one; God in the flesh.

The Perfect Game
per·fec·tion - the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects.
A perfect game in Major League Baseball is a victory by a pitcher (or combination of pitchers) that lasts a minimum of nine innings with no batter reaching first base. To achieve a perfect game, a team must not allow any opposing player to reach base by any means: no hits, walks, hit batsmen, uncaught third strikes, catcher's or fielder's interference, or fielding errors; in short, "27 up, 27 down" (for a nine-inning game). Over the 150 years of Major League Baseball history, and over 218,500 games, there have only been 23 official perfect games.
For one game, everything works (at least for the winning team) the way it should, starting with the supreme confidence and control of the pitcher, and his catcher who calls a perfect game, and his teammates who defend their territory without blemish, through nine innings of baseball. 27 outs. Perfection, flawless execution by everyone who was part of that winning effort. An experience that most people can only dream about. Where every decision is correct, there is no second-guessing, no mistakes in the execution, where the universe and humanity align to create a rare moment in time, perfection.
But what happens when you are one mistake from perfection?

The Heart of the Matter
The way we act so nonchalant
When the destination stops before the dream
Keep exchanging truth for a lie
We all know how this story will end
We try to go back to the beginning
Try to claw our way back to life
When you are the only face you see
You find yourself bathed in utter darkness
And light refuses to obey your call
(Chorus)
When it's a matter of the heart
That's the heart of the matter
When everything you deemed important
Has disappeared into a mist
When searching becomes longing
And praying becomes beggingThat's the heart of the matter

481 Foot Home Run!
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit another monstrous homer and Ian Anderson spun yet another gem. In other words, this was another good night for the Braves, who finally showed some life at the plate.
Acuña hit the second-longest home run tracked in the Majors this year and Anderson provided his second straight scoreless effort as the Braves claimed a 5-0 win over the Cubs on Tuesday night at Truist Park.
What a player!
