                                        The Seven Wonders

      A group of Geography students were asked to list what they
considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World.  Though there was some
disagreement,  the following got the most votes:
         1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
         2. Taj Mahal
         3. Grand Canyon
         4. Panama Canal
         5. Empire State Building
         6. St. Peter's Basilica
         7. China's Great Wall

      While gathering the votes, the teacher noticed one student, a quiet  girl, hadn't turned in her paper. So, 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 are":
         1. to touch
         2. to taste
         3. to see
         4. to hear
         5. to laugh
         6. to love
         7. and to know God

         It is far too easy for us to look at the exploits of man and
refer to them as "wonders" ...
         May you be reminded today of those things which are truly
wondrous.
