widos is the principal thing
therefore get wisdom: and with all
thy getting get understanding—
(Proverbs 4 7)
It is not essential that one go to
college to get wisdom—he may get
it from reading the Word of God
deeply and reverently and obedi-
ently Then a fuller better life will
come to him and understanding—
the understanding of hirnself and
of his neighbors which makes for
humility and charity

they had to come out—and they did
I can't help but laugh just a little
when I look in the mirror It looks
like my ear is going to wind up
looking like a question mark com-

middle and a dot at the bottom On
closer observation though the right
ear is aorta shaped like that so
maybe I will be balancpd for the
first time in my life (Now now—
no snide remarks)
Like the Doc said—he had read
somewhere sometime that people
with deformed ears had other de-
formities—like three kidneys or 8
toes on each foot
