Jack’s Winning Words 1/17/19
“He had myopia.  The future lay before him, inevitable, but invisible.”  (John Green)  The news is out that our galaxy is scheduled to catastrophically collide with another galaxy…in 4 billion years.  There’s a psychological truism, “Life goes better when we seek to control those things we can control, our conduct, our emotions, green-house gasses.  The path of galaxies and potential collisions??? I sing with Doris Day, “Que sera, sera.”  It’s all in God’s hands.   ;-)  Jack

FROM DR PHIL:  Wow. This is one of your best quotes===JACK: Sometimes I see myself as the Holy Spirit's amanuensis...and sometimes, not!===PHIL:  cum se cum sa ===JACK:  Google says:
 Neither good nor bad; so so; tolerable, passable, indifferent.  The Bible says:  " So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."  (Rev 3:16)

FROM JF IN NOVA SCOTIA:  I was half awake this morning with this thought (prompted by recent and I felt unfair negative letters to our editor on Nurse Practitioners (may be called Doctors' Assistants in US) The world needs a better person than me--but I am what it has, so I need to do the best I can.===JACK:  I remember it being said of a person I knew..."He majored in minors."  I like these words by  James Truslow Adams..."There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us."

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  Life is a bowl of cherries according to a song of old!===JACK:  1931 was when that song was released at the beginning of the Great Depression.  Ironic, right?
