Jack’s Winning Words 7/15/13
“The most incredible thing about miracles is that they happen.”  (G.K. Chesterton)  Most of us can identify with “Doubting” Thomas, wanting proof before we believe in a  miracle (something that seems to go against the laws of nature).  A miracle can also be an ordinary event that shows the presence of God, an indicator that He is in our life.   They happen all the time, and we often take them for granted.  Watch for one today!    ;-)  Jack

 FROM JUST JUDY:  Most of us believe: seeing is believing, but Wayne Dyer says, "I will see it when I believe it."  Just thinking about this can turn your thinking, and your world, on edge in a very powerful way. ====JACK:  Which came first?  the chicken or the egg?  Which comes first?  the belief of the miracle?

 FROM WALMART REV:  He always keeps us standing still and scratching our heads about the time we think we have Him figured out!====JACK:  Christians believe that Jesus is the key to helping people figure out the unfigurable.

 FROM THE UBIQUITOUS ANON:  Each nanosecond there is an explosion of miracles (beyond number) erupting from the miracle(s) of God's creation.====JACK:  I learned about chain reaction in chemistry.  Now I see that it also applies to miracles.

 FROM HONEST JOHN:  "Doubting Thomas" is a terrible misnomer that has been placed on the head o a great Eastern Saint....by the narrow minded Western church.====JACK:  A friend of mine belongs to a group of Saint Thomas Christians in the Detroit area.  It traces its heritage to the oldest Christian group in India, supposed to have been started by the disciple, Thomas.  Even thought "doubting" is a misnomer, it helps identify the disciple who first doubted, but then came to believe...like some people I've known.

 FROM BLAZING OAKS:  INCREDIBLE INDEED!!  MIRACLES DO HAPPEN, AS SOMEONE POINTED OUT IN YOUR BLOG, "BELIEVING IS SEEING"....READ A CLEVER QUOTE BY MOLLY IRVINS (ST. JOSEPH, MO NEWS) "BEING SLIGHTLY PARANOID IS LIKE BEING SLIGHTLY  PREGNANT---IT TENDS TO GET WORSE."  HOPEFULLY, WE ARE  TOO SKEPTICAL OR PARANOID THAT WE FAIL TO "SEE" MIRACLES!!====JACK:  I womder why Molly wrote "worse" instead of "better?"
