Rom. 3:23

 We all know Rom. 3:23 - some of us probably know it by heart - "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". 

There is a device in speech or writing called palindrome. Palindrome is a set of words or even sentences that can be read forward and backwards the same way. On of the most basic examples would be a word "racecar". 

Yet recently I saw an amazing theologically based palindrome - I am happy to share it with you: 

Dennis, Nell, Edna, Leon, Nedra, Anita, Rolf, Nora, Alice, Carol, Leo, Jane, Reed, Dena, Dale, Basil, Rae, Penny, Lana, Dave, Denny, Lena, Ida, Bernadette, Ben, Ray, Lila, Nina, Jo, Ira, Mara, Sara, Mario, Jan, Ina, Lily, Arne, Bette, Dan, Reba, Diane, Lynn, Ed, Eva, Dana, Lynne, Pearl, Isabel, Ada, Ned, Dee, Rena, Joel, Lora, Cecil, Aaron, Flora, Tina, Arden, Noel, and Ellen sinned.

Yes, even those who's name are not on the list have sinned too - that's why we have a Great Redeemer who died for everyone. But isn't this beautiful - 63 words, 263 letters - perfect palindrome that depicts a deep theological truth!
