Secret Word 

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people

to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,

and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal

station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a

decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should

declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Printed above is the first paragraph of the US declaration of Independence. Select any of the first 20 words.  Count the letters and call that number n. Move ahead n words., beginning with the word after your selected word. When you reach the nth word, count its letters and move ahead as many words as the new letter count.  Continue in this manner, counting letters and moving ahead words, until you stop ona  word thats beyond the fourth line.

On what word did you stop?

It will always be the same word. WHY?

AND NOW ANOTHER ONE........

Here are the first three verses of Genesis:

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Pick any word in the first verse, count its letters, and move ahead by the corresponding number of words. For example, if you start at beginning, you'd count 9 letters and move ahead 9 words, landing on the in the second verse. Count that word's letters and continue in this manner until you've entered the third verse.

You'll always arrive at God.
