The following is the words to a song that I think speaks appropriatly to some of
the ramblings that go on in this newsgroup.  

                            Foolish Things

		If you had a message that you wanted
		To tell the whole world,
		How would you go about it
		Until everyone heard?
		The Master of the universe 
		Came to earth as a babe.
		And still He shares His message
		In seemingly foolish ways.

		A whisper in the nightime,
		A quiet song on guitar.
		It's written in an ancient book,
		And passed from heart to heart.
		The foolishness of God
		Is wiser than the wisest man.
		Unless the Spirit shows you,
		You will never understand.

		Well, He will use the foolish to proclaim
		To those who think they're wise.
		He will use the weak ones,
		Not those strong in the world's eyes.

		So I bury the pride of a singer,
		And smile into His face.
		He'd like to share His love with you,
		And I'm one of the foolish ways 
		He shares His love.
		I'm just one of the foolish ways
		He shares His love.

God speaks to the humble and the not-so-wise, not the proud and the wise-in-
they're-own-eyes.  Religion is not a science, it's a relationship.
