Jack’s Winning Words 8/8/13
“Visualize, prayerize, actionize and your wishes will come true.”  (Charles L. Allen)  If a genie gave you 3 wishes, what would they be?  We’ve all played that game.  But it doesn’t have to be make believe.  C.L.A., a Methodist minister, has written many books, including A Guidebook That Can Change Your Life.  Today’s quote suggests that wishes are in your hands.  Maybe it’s not as simple as Aladdin’s Lamp, but it works.    ;-)  Jack

 FROM TARMART REV:  ...very true, Jack...a smorgasbord full of them, just waiting to be acted upon... ====JACK:  Smorgasbord?  It looks like you're living in Swede country.  BYW, do you know the translation of smorgasbord?

 FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  One day at a time.  Last night we were at the cape for the launching of the rocket and it was truly amazing to see====JACK:  Where was the rocket headed?

 FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  The key words in that quote are prayerize and actionize.  You have to work for something you want very badly...not just sit and wait for God to drop it in your lap.  We want a cottage and are praying and working hard for it.  When it happens is up to us...if we are able to have one is up to God.====JACK:  First you had the vision of a cottage; then you prayed about it; finally you understand that it will come about because of a partnership.  BTW, does your vision include a working outhouse?

 FROM GOOD DEBT JON:  Ah, Yes.  Just don't stop after completing step one and two…. It's more fun to live in number one…And number two is essential...But only number three gets things done.====JACK:  It amazing how so many good intentions never reach fruition because of inaction. Someone prayed: "God save us from people who mean well."

 FROM PLAIN FOLKS CHESTER:  and advertize!====JACK:  Jesus talked about advertising, too.  During the Sermon on the Mount he said, "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."  (Matthew 5:15)
