I was never all that smart; never claimed to be smart, and I know I'm not all that bright All my siblings are much smarter than I, and they are all christians.
On the other hand, my wife graduated from high school, nursing school, and college with honors, but she's a buddhist.
Our older son graduated summa cum laude and with honors from his graduate degree. I was never that smart.
Most of my friends are well educated. I have friiends all around the world. They include doctors, lawyers, judges, law professors, retired colelge professors, petrophysicist, physicsts, accountants, educators, pharmacist, engineers, businessmen, actors, and even a professional singer who lives near London.
My older brother was an administrative judge, my younger brother is an ophthalmologist turned politician, and my sister is a nurse.
Not too bad for a dumb geezer like me.
