Yesterday you were struggling to master fourth-grade math. Today you're being offered jobs around the world as a rocket scientist. That sudden rise to total smartness is what happens to a guy named Charlie in the story Flowers for Algernon (and an old movie called Charly). Thirty-two-year-old Charlie is gentle and friendly—but not very smart. He can read and write—well, sort of. He knows he isn't as bright as people around him. In fact, in the story there's a white lab rat named Algernon who in some ways seems more intelligent than Charlie.

What God Has Joined Together By Josh McDowell

 What God Has Joined Together Bible Reading: Mark 10:1-9 They are no longer two but one. Matthew 19:6 GOD PATIENTLY EXPLAINED his plan to the archangel Michael. "I will cause the man to fall into a deep sleep," he said, "and then I will take a rib from his side and make a companion for him ... a woman." "Uh-huh." Michael blinked as if he'd just been told a joke that he didn't get. "Don't you see, Michael?" God said. "The woman and the man will be husband and wife. They will become one." Michael's mouth slowly dropped open. "Oh," he said, drawing the word out into a long expression of realization. "You will make them one," the angel repeated. "A unity. The man. The woman."
