JACK'S WINNING WORDS 8/10/06
“The poor have little, Beggar none; The rich too much, Enough not one.” (Ben Franklin) Socialist? Communist? Capitalist? I saw my grandson give money to a “homeless” person as we left the ballgame last Monday. It caused me to wonder: Why did I pass him by? Why did John stop and give? ;-) Jack
THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN - Luke 10:25-37
This parable is one of the most famous from the New Testament and its influence is such that to be called a Samaritan in Western culture today is to be described as a generous person who is ready to provide aid to people in distress without hesitation. In many English-speaking countries, a Good Samaritan law exists to protect from liability those who choose to aid people who are seriously ill or injured.

Been thinking about these WINNING WORDS all day and concerned that there really can be "beggar none". More wanting that there would really be something like that, there be "beggar none" and not so worried about the "enough not one." Now why would I worry more on one and not the other so much? I think Jesus worried about the rich ones a lot.
