Jack’s Winning Words 10/1/07
“We don’t know a millionth of one per cent about anything.” (Edison) This great inventor should know what he’s talking about. His truism applies not only to science and history, but to theology, too. I’m always suspicious of those who seem to have all the answers. I relate best to those who find this world, enigmatic. ;-) Jack
FROM T.S. IN MICHIGAN: Would you say that a difference between worldly knowledge and theology is that in theology we have the advantage of knowing where to find the answers?
FROM GOOD DEBT JON IN OHIO: Yet, how bold we are with the little we know! Have you ever argued to nearly the end of your own knowledge, hoping the other guy hits bottom before you do? People that hit bottom quickly generally resort to personal attacks or widening (or changing) of the topic to keep going.
FROM J.C. IN HONG KONG: I once knew a proctologist who found this world, enematic. He was always trying to get to the bottom of things.
FROM THE CURMUDGEON, C.R.: .....I think that we know more about what isn't than what is.
FROM F.M. IN WISCONSIN: your daily 'winning word' certainly reinforces the truth of Edison's quote - your selected words cover the whole water front of knowledge! And they prompt the receiver of your words to clean out the cobwebs! Keep up the good work!
FROM E.D. IN AZ: Amen to that! That quote should be the title of a field report that i am writing!!

Actually I think it's all enigmatic because God writes the law in or on (which is it?) our hearts and our hearts have a way of knowing a part of something, gets sometimes into forgiving and hopefully always into loving and as all this is happening we find out we are caught up into God and the whole situation is enigmatic. Who can figure it out? I can't.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
