the universe and human stupidity;
and I am not sure about the former."

Winston Churchill said, "Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh
If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin keep out of the way until you can."
Churchill definitely understood the drain of a dull day. I love his admonition. I believe it is one with which God would agree. People need to laugh. Laughter is a gift from heaven, an instant vacation, and some very good medicine for those of us caught up in the serious game of life. So enjoy the gift, take the vacation; swallow the medicine! How? Read the comics, watch a comedy or enjoy the presence of a really funny friend. Besides, if anyone has reason to laugh, it is the believer. God loves us, our future is certain, and he is totally in control. So this weekend, lighten up and laugh!
"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength."
(Proverbs 17:22 NLT)
This one is very very humorous, something
that I NEED on a daily basis - laughter is SO
good for the soul. Almost as good as baking
homemade bread.
George Bernard Shaw is responsible for this;
"If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your
closet, you'd best teach it to dance." :wink:
"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."

~ QUOTE OF THE DAY ~.~ March 29, 2003
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
~ J.R.R. Tolkien ~
~ Bad habits are like chains that are too light to feel until they are too heavy to carry. ~

"He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas." - - Benjamin Franklin
"I experienced sometimes that the most
sweet and tender, the most innocent and
encouraging society may be found in any natural
object - even for the poor misanthrope and most
melancholy man. There can be no very black
melancholy to him who lives in the midst of Nature
and has his senses still." H D Thoreau
And doubly true for me!!!
Awwwwwww Babs, I love it!
QUOTE OF THE DAY ~.~ March 30, 2003
"I was born to catch dragons in their dens
And pick flowers
To tell tales and laugh away the morning
To drift and dream like a lazy stream
And walk barefoot across sunshine days."

I believe.....
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that
myth is more potent that history. I believe that dreams are
more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over
experience, that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I
believe that love is stronger than death."
~ From the movie The Crow ~

QUOTE OF THE DAY ~.~ April 3, 2003
"Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide..."
~ Garth Brooks, The River
~ The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail. ~~ Ramakrishna ~
