Jack’s Winning Words 9/27/18
“The day is what you make it!  So why not make it a great one?  (Steve Schulte)  A teaching of Buddhism is,,,We are what we think we are, or Thinking will make it so.  When the days are downers, try changing your way of thinking.  Robert Schuller would begin each worship service by saying, “This is the day that the Lord has made!  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  We can make today a great day by looking for the positives in it.  It will become as you see it .   ;-)  Jack

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  i wonder if Schuller still said that on the day his entire ministry fell apart and the Crystal Cathedral was sold to the Catholic Church??===JACK:  I suggested that you could make today a great day by thinking positive thoughts!  Longfellow wrote these famous words: "Thy fate is the common fate of all,  Into each life some rain must fall,  Some days must be dark and dreary."  While Schuller was not perfect, he did accomplish good in his ministry, too.

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  I love it! Enjoy each day!===JACK:  Like Mr. Rogers would sing at the beginning of his TV show..."It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood."

FROM DAZ IN COLORADO:  Interesting you bring that up because you’ve got be careful about who you believe about events and battles. Generals who did dumb things by most standards would write to try to convince you it was smart. That make reading fun to read about.

FROM WALMART REV:  You and I were hitting on the same thought this morning! 0;-)===JACK:  In many ways, we are more alike than different.  You could become an ELCA pastor, but I'd have to learn to speak in tongues.

FROM HAWKEYE GEORGE:  EXCELLENT!===JACK:  I try not to send junk.

FROM BS IN ENGLAND:  We always begin our Morning Praise service with those words " This is the day " etc.  Wonderful words to begin the day!===JACK:  In Sunday School we used to sing...
This is the day, this is the day
That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
And be glad in it, glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
That the Lord has made
This is the day, this is the day
That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
And be glad in it, glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
That the Lord has made
