Jack’s Winning Words 5/6/08
“…and what did you do for someone today?” (Jack McConnell’s father) Each night at the supper table, Jack’s father would ask this question of each of his 7 children. It’s next to impossible to imagine this happening in today’s world. But if it were possible, and you were at the table, how would you answer? This continues a week of excerpts from the devotional book, Three Minutes A Day. ;-) Jack

FROM R.I. IN BOSTON: Altruism isn't selling these days. FROM JACK: You should have been to the meeting of our Optimist Club today where scholarships were awarded to outstanding students in our community. Some families did something right. The meeting concluded with about 50 people of all ages saying together:

FROM CJL IN OHIO: I listened.

FROM PR J.S. IN MICHIGAN: Did you see that Chauncey Billups won the NBA award this year for his outstanding charitable work? The Porter-Billups Academy sounds like a good deal.

FROM M.L. IN ILLINOIS: i'm going to use that question in pre-school circle time today. can't wait to hear the answers!

FROM G.G. IN INDY: It's primary day here.....I helped a friend locate her polling place so she could vote!

FROM MOLINER C.P.: We do something we feel is good for the environment , we take recyclable stuff to the recycle place. Hence , we have very little garbage for the garbage man.
