Bible Note: Howdy thar, Steve. If'n I was you, I wouldn't let that there talk about not being a intelleckual bother me a whole heap. Why, here in Arkansas a intelleckual is a feller what knows all 19 letters of the alfabet, and a snob is a dude that wears shoes even in the summertime. Some of the perfessers at the universcity knows their alfabet and so does some of these here modern high falutin preachers what calls theirself doctor, but most of 'em still don't have much to say that would be of any use to a feller, specially a Christian. God He says that our righteousness is like dirty old rags to Him, and I spect He don't cotton much to our intelleckualism neither. What I mean is I don't spect He's jest bowled over by how smart we think we are. No, down here in the Ozarks, not many of us folks is afflicted with having more brains than is good for us, but a lot of us do love the Lord and as for me, why I'll take that over having a over dose of the smarts any old day. Keep your head up high, cousin, and jest thank the Good Lord you ain't smart enough to figure out that the Bible don't even mean what it says as plain as day. And I ain't neither. --Hank |
