I'm So Glad I'm Not A Genius

Have you ever known someone who was really smart? I don't mean someone who knows a lot of facts, but someone who was a genius? All of my friends are very intelligent, ;] but none are geniuses. At least, if they are, they aren't show offs about it! (So guys, are you? C'mon I can take it. I won't be jealous or anything. You can tell me.)
My Dad heard Danny Kaye speak once and he said the guy had a photographic memory. When it was his turn to speak, he got up and re-enacted the speech before him, word for word and even made the same movements! That's a genius!
I'm so glad that I do not have a photographic memory. Otherwise, the verse that jumped out at me wouldn't have been such a surprise. Because, I'd read it before. I'd even underlined it! But I do not remember it. That's definitely not a genius! But that's okay. I love surprises! So here's the verse that I underlined, but for the life of me don't remember reading. But I like it. I guess I liked it then. And I can see why. It's a great verse. (Am I talking to myself??) Wait. Don't answer that. Here's the verse!

Psalm 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, has not forsaken them that seek thee.

He hasn't forsaken those that seek after Him! He won't ever forsake those that seek Him! Now that's a great verse, isn't it?

Even a non-genius like me can grasp that.

More than once! :]
