Jack’s Winning Words 7/10/08
“Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens.” (J.R.R. Tolkien) The road will surely darken at sometime during our life. I pray that our faith, yours and mine, might remain strong whenever that time may come. I like what is written in the 23rd Psalm: “Even though I walk through the shadowy valleys, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” ;-) Jack

FROM L.K. IN OH: Always apt. Thanks!

FROM P.O. IN MI: And then there are those who "find God" when the road darkens, only to lose Him again when the sun shines --- go figure!

FROM E.A. IN MI: Whose admonishment was it that begins "Oh yee of little faith-----"?
Hope all is well. If I ever start walking without the need of a cane, I shall once again appear at Optimist. Be well and stay well.

FROM MOLINER C.F.: Faith is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and knowing it's not a train coming.

FROM G.G. IN INDY: That's what candles are for, right? I think I'll light a bunch on my back porch tonight (you and David have been there!) as a prayer for those whose road has darkened and as a reminder of these WW's. Thanks.

FROM M.N. IN MN: I think you wrote that for me. Thank you so much Jack. I am going to print it so I can read it when I need comfort and strength.

FROM A.McC. IN MI: I read that psalm every Sunday night since my sister died in April, 2005.
