Greetings from Russell's Remnant:

We've been awfully serious lately. It's time to laugh at ourselves. Remember to look in the mirror each day, laugh and say, "You fool, you joke, you fraud!" (This advice from Russell Whitesell's Teacher) The world needs to take itself less seriously. So do disciples. Russell once told one stiff, rigid, dour old lady in his class that if she had a good time just once in her life, she would die. Let's loosen up this month. Enjoy life. Let's learn to laugh at ourselves. I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Are you going to get any better or is this it? Fiesty Baltimore Oriole Baseball Manager Earl Weaver arguing with an American League baseball umpire

If your I.Q. drops any lower, we're going to have to start watering you twice a day. Molly Ivans, Ft. Worth journalist to a Texas congressman.

Arguing with a man is like trying to teach a cat to play bridge. You can teach them the principles, but you can't get them to follow suit. My Word on the BBC

You can tell a fighter pilot, ... but you can't tell him much. Air Force officer

My old man makes the Great Santini look like Leo Buscaligia. Dennis Miller

You're embarassing me in front of people who want to be my peers. Frazer on Cheers

Men can read maps better than women. Only a male's mind can visualize an inch equalling a mile. Rosanna Barr

If men were logical, they'd ride sidesaddle. Rita Brown

All Mary needed Joseph for was to lead the donkey. Valerie Ford

My husband is the kind of man who always hits the nail right on the thumb. Wife

He can't spell and as a result he spent the night in a warehouse. Night watchman

There are no experts in this work, just some with lesser degrees of ignorance. Even D.K. points out that he is just a brother with a little more experience than most. The Farside cartoon above is a favorite of the Tuesday Night Group. It is so typical of life when we encounter one who has a greater degree of ignorance. I am sure that we have all had such encounters. Let us hope that we learn that we too have been, are, and will be the "moat builder" arguing with the "king" - our Mentor, our Teacher, our Soul and our God.

[Astrological Note: There's an astrological book on the market today that some, including an astrologer in our group, believe will have a profound effect on the astrology world. It is entitled Astrology Really Works proven by The Magi Society and published by Hay House, Inc.; P. O. Box 6204; Carson, CA 90749; U.S.A. (800-654-5126) This book challenges some traditional astrological beliefs - and backs up their findings with proof - a breath of fresh air for astrologers. Maybe these are some of the new age souls who Russell said were ready to incarnate and help us grow.]
