Jack’s Winning Words 11/7/17
“Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”  (Marilyn Monroe)  A psychology study has shown that people tend to remember “the bad” more than “the good.”  It’s part of the makeup of our brain.  Knowing this can help us to focus in on the good when bad things happen.  A woman, going into the hospital for another of several procedures, was heard to say, “I wonder what good I can do here this time?”  Life is often affected by attitude.    ;-)  Jack

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  someone has said that life is 80% attitude and 20% fortitude... ====PAUL:  Marilyn's was not an easy life, but she did have fortitude.  However, it was sad the way it ended.

FROM TARMART REV:  Life . . . definitely affected by attitude.====JACK:  Surely, you remember the verse: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)====REV:  ...most generally walking in that realization!====JACK:   Do the AGs know this song?  SING IT!
Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,  Trying to follow our Savior and king;
Shaping our lives by His blessèd example,  Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,  Stepping in the light, stepping in the light,
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,  Led in paths of light.
====REV:  Unfortunately, the younger AG folk never hear it anymore . . . The few of us older ones still hold it in our hearts dearly.

FROM CS IN RO:  SO RIGHT====JACK:  You know it when you've experienced it.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  Attitude is everything if it’s a good attitude!====JACK:  Who determines whether an attitude is good or bad?====JUDY:  Well, if you bark at everyone and everything but smile though you are heartbroken, it’s easy to see your attitude.  You can just look at a person’s face to read his attitude.

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  I remember the good things! We have just returned from a beautiful trip to Washington and Gettysburg! Two daughters one grandson and one son in law are all graduates of Gettysburg. We walked the campus saw a football game and drove the battlefields twice. I like the peace light a lot. Have u been there recently?====JACK:  I have never been to Gettysburg, even though it's the place of one of our church's colleges and seminaries, dating back before the Civil War.
I have been to D.C.
