Geography students studied the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. At =
the end of that section, the students were asked to list what they =

hadn’t turned in her paper yet. She asked the girl if she was having =
trouble with her list.
The quiet girl =
replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because =
there were so many."
The teacher =
said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can =
help."
The girl =
hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World TODAY =

May we be =
reminded today of those things which are truly =
