Jack’s Winning Words 9/19/08
“Ring the bells that can still ring. Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in” (Leonard Cohen)
Elizabeth Edwards quoted these words when asked how she was handling her medical and family problems. This is a great thought when life seems to push in upon us. Look for the light today. ;-) Jack

FROM CWR IN B'MORE: ,,,,,all vessels are cracked. That's why "the grace of God "is the glue.......

FROM EMT SINGS IN MI: I like this!

ANTHEM BY LEONARD COHEN:
The birds they sang at the break of day Start again I heard them say Don't dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be. Ah the wars they will be fought again The holy dove She will be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. We asked for signs the signs were sent: the birth betrayed the marriage spent Yeah the widowhood of every government -- signs for all to see. I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring ... You can add up the parts but you won't have the sum You can strike up the march, there is no drum Every heart, every heart to love will come but like a refugee. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. That's how the light gets in. That's how the light gets in.

FROM J.L. IN MI: Elizabeth is a very strong woman. Besides fighting breast cancer, she didn't have the support of her husband. I'm glad you put this quote in today because it gives me some peace, as it does her, to know she lets the light shine through. I hope and pray her light is Jesus.

FROM J.T. IN MI: You read the same article I did yesterday. It impressed me too. I cut it out to save.
