Winning Words 2/23/12
“Love is the greatest power, but nobody has yet discovered how to put it into a bomb.” (Ashleigh Brilliant) I have mixed feelings about this one. We live in a world where terrorists seek to intimidate with explosives. What would the world be like if those of us who want people to love one another would be as committed to our cause? Let’s each try to do an unexpected act of love today in an unlikely place. ;-) Jack

FROM RS IN MICHIGAN: I will do that. I love this one.(I love them all, actually!)////FROM JACK: My son, as a teen-ager, used to use "bomb" as a slang expression for, "good." Love is BOMB!

FROM TRIHARDER TONY: lose it and watch the devastation.////FROM JACK: Those who seek to make the world a better place must not give up. They just need to triharder.

FROM BLAZING OAKS: A quote from Tom Hanks, actor/Director seems a good fit here: "Help publicly, Help privately. Help make sense where sense has gone missing. Help Science to solve, and Faith to soothe. Help, and you will abolish apathy---the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil." We must all do whatever we can to scatter love in the little corner of our influence. If we all "Brighten the Corner Where We Are" the world is going to be much brighter than it would have been!! Our "drop in the ocean" counts! ////FROM JACK: Brighten the Corner is one of my favorites from Sunday School days. The singing of it would often be followed by, Jesus Bids Us Shine. Oops...now I remember another: Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam. All three are about sharing love.
