“Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.” (Denis Waitley) This is the kind of message needed for these times when so much emphasis is being put on economic issues. That’s not to say that there aren’t other important issues. But sometimes we take time and health for granted, until it’s too late. ;-) Jack

FROM R.I. IN BOSTON: The earth and its resources are other assets that we take for granted, and like time and health are being carelessly wasted. Some of our nation's most fertile, arable land has been sacrificed for commercial development and parking lots. The earth's beauty and bounty have been ravaged. Do you suppose Jesus was including that when he said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."? JACK'S REPLY: Yes, we are carelessly treating the earth (creation). If Jesus were living on eath today, he might say again, "Father, forgive them etc." But in the olden days he had other fish to fry.
