“Don’t let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.” (Richard L. Evans) Everyone, once in a while, faces difficult times with sleepless nights. On such occasions I’ve found this Bible verse to be helpful: “All things work together for good for those who love God.” Things have a way of working out. God knows and cares. “Now I lay be down to sleep,” with that thought in mind. ;-) Jack
FROM JD IN MINNESOTA: YES JACK, IT'S THE LONG VIEW VERSUS THE SHORT VIEW. I COULDN'T SLEEP LAST NITE AFTER WATCHING THE MOST EXCITING HOCKEY GAME EVER IN THE FROZEN FOUR. U OF MN DEFEATING N D STATE 2 - 1 WITH .2 SECONDS LEFT. IT'S NOT GOOD FOR OLD HEARTS.====JACK: The Golden Gophers have had a great hockey season. Now, it's on to the Twins...and a rest for your heart.
FROM TARMART REV: Okay . . . not too funny, but it was the first thought that came to my mind this morning after reading your first quote . . . Someone once told the famous Liberace to take his piano and go back to where he started from . . . he didn't take it too seriously, but his mother died of a heartache thinking of that possibility . . . would make for a pretty crowded birth canal, I'd bet!! ====JACK: Going back....My call to become a pastor was actually a telephone call when someone asked, "Have you ever thought about becoming a pastor?"====REV: mine came from an afternoon movie I was watching just out of high school, called "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain" . . . bawled like a baby and felt called to follow in the footsteps of that minister.
FROM FACEBOOK LIZ: Like.====JACK: On the TV News last night I saw a segment concerning a young man who lost both legs in the Boston Marathon bombing. He is now walking again with artificial legs...and smiling.
FROM LH IN MICHIGAN: Maybe you’ll like this, too. I have no idea who wrote it.
Happiness keeps you sweet, Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human, Life keeps you humble.
====JACK: It all adds up to be a help in those times of discouragement.
