Paper Power
Last December Eleanor Barry, a 70-year-old ex-actress, was killed by a pile of paper. A giant pile of books, newspapers, and the press clippings dating back 25 years collapsed on Miss Barry while she lay in bed. Police had to use an axe to smash the door of her bedroom because the collapsed pile blocked their entry. They stated the weight of the papers muffled her cries for help.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
