You're supposed to laugh, John.

Although Lois and I still pretty much share the same beliefs, she still thinks that what goes on in the Community of Christ matters. Therefore, she cares about your soul, John. She just doesn't do as you do, and post her prayerful concerns for your spiritual well-being here on the street corner so that everybody can see them. If one does not know an individual well enough to have their address to send them a note or email telling them that one is praying for them, it's better that one simply do the praying, and not make a public announcement. It just doesn't look all that good.

But Phill Silvers and Doris Day got some laughs out of this 50 years ago, in "Oh Lucky Me."

Doris: Men! men! Horrible men!
History's pages are littered with them....
People like Bluebeard with hatchets and knives:
Look what they did to the lives of their wives.

Phil: Hi, ho. song and a dance;
It's always the skirt who is wearing the pants:
Lucrecia Borgia -- the stuff that she poured!
Men took one whiff and went stiff as a board.

I still have a copy of it after all these years, because I was always a fan of Robert Cummings, who played opposite Doris. And Phil's impersonation of a "rich Texan" was funny because it probably was the exact image of what a Canadian would think of. Nancy Walker was in it too. And there was a number about "Sandy MacTavish." I used to work for someone by that name, and that made it even more comical.

But that is how I see the Community of Christ, John -- "used to," "was," "played," "deceased." Unusual because in "living color," and nostalgic, to be sure, but over and done with, and long since past having any real relevance to the here and now. You see, I can't be a fan of Robert Cummings any more because he passed away.

George

Proof that revelation is subjective is that God commissioned the Community of Christ to tell men to cease and desist in certain things, but the prophet garbled the message and heard "grease and persist."
