Jack’s Winning Words 7/30/08
“There’s some things people just don’t admit, because they don’t like the way it sounds.”
(Cindy Chupack) Cindy is a writer for Sex and the City. Sex is one of those words that some people feel uncomfortable using. Racism is another of those words that is ill-sounding, at least to me. Can you think of some more? ;-) Jack


FROM GOOD DEBT JON: Socialism.

FROM CWR IN B'MORE: "Religion"......which has become synonymous with"terror", "guilt","fear", "bigotry", "ignorance", "tyranny".....and the list is endless. Smile! G-d loves, or at least tolerates, us.

FROM MOLINER, C.F.: "Grammar". Especially when it is as bad as Cindy's. "There is some things....?"

FROM PR P.H. IN MN: the tapir doesn't seem to be too active either...

FROM CJL IN OH: Work...I'll do it....I'm responsible

FROM EMTSINGS IN MI: I really dislike the current popularity of saying something "sucks" if you don't like
it.

FROM F.M. IN WI: Autism .

Silence is the big bug-a-boo for me. Quite often people use silence to distance, to separate, maybe even to control, to hide. God's silence can be an ominous thing. But I also realize silence can be pure presence, reality more powerful than limited words and body language. It takes a greater faith than I many times have to move from feeling silence is uncomfortable to silence is unifying. Sometimes I wonder if, in the very last minutes of my life, I'll be silent or still chattering away.
Peace,
Sharon

Amendment - listening in my last minutes. Our family has a history of hearing in the last minutes. My mother, in the nursing home, asked to be taken to the TV room where she died of a heart attack in a chair among the people watching TV. My dad, in the nursing home, in the middle of the night, had me and my sister talking to each other at his bedside when he died. In a big noisy family it has always been like this so far.
Peace,
