Jack’s Winning Words 2/26/18
“Sometimes, if God can’t find a hammer to tap the nail into the wall, he’ll use the heel of an old shoe.”  (Quaker Saying)  There were times as I was growing up that we had to make do. Do you know that expression?  Sometimes mom’s tastiest meals didn’t come from a recipe book.  A little bit of this; a little bit of that.  She was a kitchen magician.  So it is with life.  It’s not always what we’d like, but somehow it works out.  We do the best we can with what we have.    ;-)  Jack

FROM FACEBOOK LIZ:  i shared this on my fb today...never heard this saying, but i like it! ====JACK:  I like the Quakers, too.  In their honor I try to eat oatmeal once a week.

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  Yes and take one day at a time====JACK:  Sometimes we ask too many "What ifs?..." before taking action.

FROM LP IN TWINSLAND:  Love this one!====JACK:  I love this time of the baseball season when all teams have yet to lose a real game.

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Yes, somewhat like the saying "God does not call the equipped, He equips the called;" He  can endow a willing heart with the needed skills to do his work! I  like G.K. Chesterton's comment: "All Theology has two simple principles: that we matter, and that everyone else matters." (!)====JACK:  The humble Sunday School teacher is a theologian, too.
