Jack’s Winning Words 1/3/18
“Nothing is permanent in this world, not even our troubles.”  (Charlie Chaplin)  Chaplin’s first movie, The Kid, was probably his best among many.  It typically showed how “trouble’ is eventually overcome by the good.  I know that “trouble” in this world can seem insurmountable, but I encourage you to take the long view.  Good Friday eventually leads to Easter Sunday.  Be assured by God’s promise: “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.”  ;-)  Jack

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  How true!!!====JACK:  What is truth?  What makes something true?

FROM HONEST JOHN:  Sounds like Heraclitus.   Plato would respectfully disagree...so would Aristotle.     So would Isaiah.     A formidable array lined up against Charlie Chaplin....====JACK:  I know it's futile to disagree with you, but just suppose, in the end, that Charlie turned out to be the Great Philosopher, just as he was once the Great Dictator?  I'm only saying, "Just suppose...." ====JOHN:  When he was the Great Dictator, he was acting....====JACK:  Perhaps it is as your "friend" Shakespeare wrote:  "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."

FROM PEPPERMINT MARY: Hang in there. Life goes on until the next one. All I know is life is good and future life is abundant with promise and possibilities.====JACK:  Keep on thinking those optimistic thoughts.===MARY:   It’s how I make it through each day,especially the troubled ones ❤️
