Jack’s Winning Words 6/18/07
“Challenge is a dragon with a gift in its mouth. Tame the dragon and the gift is yours.”
(Noela Adams) There are a variety of challenges that people face these days: negativism, sadness, fear, discouragement. Have a sense of determination. I can slay that dragon, and I will. Incidentally, Winston Churchill named his airplane, Ascalon, the name of the lance used by St. George when he killed his dragon. ;-) Jack


FROM B.S. NEAR ORLANDO: How about eureka, remember the Greek gent who was bathing in a bathtub and said the weight of the water displaced by his body would equal his weight. so the weight of water displaced by a piece of gold would equal the weight of that gold. Does that make sense? My son Matt obtained a package of sunflower seeds one time and he proceeded to go around the neighborhood and plant these seeds of gold colored sunflower seeds, and in several months some people had many sunflowers growing in their yards. Beautiful gifts of God. I didn't diswade him becausec I thought the result would beautify the neighborhood. It did.
