Jack’s Winning Words 1/19/07
“Deal with the consequences of your actions, ‘cause life ain’t no video game.” A similar follow up: “We don’t live in a comic book! This is the real deal.” (Ikkaku, Hosaka and Kawabata) It has been reported this week that scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight. Something’s got to change. Even our personal life ain’t no video game. ;-) Jack

FROM GOOD DEBT JON: If life was a video tape, would you fast forward to see what happens? Or just sit back and enjoy the show?

FROM JL IN MI: "Not even the Son knows the hour!"

FROM JD IN MN: IT'S TO BAD THAT POWER CRAZED POLITICIANS AREN'T HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. JESUS WEPT OVER JERUSALEM, THERE IS MUCH MORE TO SADDEN US TODAY. WE HAVEN'T LEARNED MUCH AND STILL CONTINUE ON OUR DESTRUCTIVE WAY. THE ATOMIC CLOCK IS CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT BUT LIKE LUTHER I WILL PLANT MY APPLE TREE TODAY.

FROM SH IN SF, MI: Wow. This is heavy duty stuff today. Actually Peter taught us this little hymn when he was with us for worship at the Fountains Assisted Living Home:
Grace, grace, God's Grace Grace that will pardon and cleanse my sins.
Grace, grace, God's Grace Grace that is greater than all my sins.
Think I'll just do my assignment on principles of design today, wash the dishes, cook the meals, vacuum, clean wherever, all my usual responsibilities and let the clock tick. Theologically speaking, does the Bible say anything about Jesus coming again before the Doomsday or is the Doomsday supposed to happen first before He Comes again?

FROM JC IN HK: The sky is always falling in Geneva.
