Jack’s Winning Words 10/31/08
“Without wearing any mask we’re conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.”
(Oliver Wendell Holmes) Just because it’s Halloween, you don’t have to wear a false face, or one that frightens people. I remember once asking a student to give a summary of the 10 Commandments. The reply was simply: BE NICE! ;-) Jack


FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: Good Winning Words, especially during an election. I have been appalled at some people's reaction, even on your blog-site along the name calling, against people with different opinions. Just think how wonderful this world would be if everyone was just...nice.

FROM K.B. IN MI: My mask for you is always a respectful smile-- JACK'S RESPONSE: That's scarey.

FROM MOLINER C.F.: Nicely said. REPLY: You're just being nice.!

FROM CJL IN OH: Not bad. Certainly easy to remember....

Many people have told me that God can be perceived through as many prisms as there are in His creation, He is bigger than any of us can comprehend by our own understanding. It's kind of startling to muse on if we, beyond even our own comprehension or understanding of ourselves subtly or not so subtly present a different face to every single person/animal/plant we encounter. If they all had to describe us, would we appear to be different in each telling?
