Jack’s Winning Words 3/7/07
“If anyone is not willing to accept your point of view, try to see his point of view.”
(Lebanese Proverb) Wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a world where people practiced these words? Check it out. Who do you know who’s that open minded? As the song goes: “…and let it begin with me.” ;-) Jack


FROM REV. JOHN IN MICHIGAN: It's the key to debate...if you can't see the other persons point of view, you have no chance to present an effective rebuttal...instead, you will spend your time tilting at windmills and/or knocking over straw horses!!!

FROM P.O. IN DETROIT: I think everyone needs to have this one on the table in front of them during church council meetings!

FROM MARY L. IN ILLINOIS: that sounds a little "gibranish". i wish the middle east,(a land so rich in prophets), and the rest of the world would consider this form of conflict resolution. we do not all have to believe in the same mean to the end. peace and love,

FROM D.S. One of my favorite ones came from a friend of mine in Savannah, GA when we lived there. "He is often wrong, but never in doubt". I use that quite often these "political" days.
