Zero in Gods name

 At church one very common activity is note taking. Everyone wants to make sure they don't forget anything important. We sloppy right down the key points and very few people ever go back over the notes.

One of the words that is bound to be on  the notes is God. I have always had a passion for the Jewish people. I love some of there traditions, they are all valuable and have a lot of meaning. One of my favorite traditions is the one about writing the name of God. They write it G-d. The o is always left out and I think the reasoning behind it is so cool. When I asked about this my mentor told me that god is never zero, he is never nothing because he is always everything. Even though zero is not in the name of God a circle looks so much like the number zero that it if left out. Since learning about this tradition I think twice when writing my notes and when the name of God comes up it has a whole new meaning.
