Jack’s
Winning Words 6/18/18
“I never panic
when I get a wasp in my ear. As soon as
you strike out, it’ll sting you. So,
just stay cool.” (Martin
McGuinness) Every month seems to have “special” days. Well,
if you didn’t know it today, June 18, is designated as Panic Day. A wasp in the ear would be panic for me. Or, maybe it’s a diagnosis, a phone call, a
news headline. Panic comes in various
ways. The words of Jesus comfort
me. “Fear not! I am with you…always!” Just stay
cool! ;-) Jack
DROM LBP: Our kitchen calendar has one “special” for each day. For fun we try to enjoy one of “specials” each week. My calendar says it’s international sushi day. Though I think I prefer to celebrate “go skating day” on Thursday or “world sauntering day” tomorrow. If you don’t mind I’ll skip panic day. ===JACK: Didn't you once get into trouble for observing Senior Skip Day? Did that cause a panic on the part of some people?===L: Nope. I did not get in trouble. I may not have gone to school but I’m pretty sure the absence was reported... and of course my parents knew. Ha ha. Not so much skipping school as planned unexcused absence I guess
FROM HY YO SILVER: One of the most common concluding prayers in the Jewish liturgy is the Adon Olam prayer (which means Universal Master). It’s final verse generally translates as: “The Lord is with me; I will not fear."===JACK: I've come to believe that there is more that unites "religious" people than divides them. Keep looking for the positives in life!
FROM FACEBOOK LIZ: please pray for me, jack. i am numb w/shock, grief.

===LIZ: thank you! my prayers were answered this morning, actually... a real-life miracle.
you never know, you just never know. ♥️
FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL: you may not believe this but it is true. when we were kids, my brother swung at a ball during a ballgame and at that very moment a wasp flew right into his left ear. he fell to the ground in great pain. thankfully, my Mom ran and got a pan of warm water and just pour it into his ear until the wasp finally back out! we then pinched it until it was dead. a very weird event to say the least. Mark still recalls that day like it was yesterday.===JACK: Maybe that was the time when Panic Day started. You might send your brother a copy of today's WWs.
FROM TAMPA SHIRL: To panic is not a good idea! Take one day at a time!===JACK: Take one panic at a time. Today's panic was leaving late to catch the plane to Minnesota. All that worry nothing. We got there in plenty of time.
FROM BLAZING OAKS: My friend's niece was just diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable Gioblastoma tumor in her right brain. Terminal prognosis. Now that would be panic time for sure. All one can do is pray like mad!! The wasp in the ear would definitely set most into a panic mode!
===JACK: I once had a church member who would have a panic attack when thinking about taking Communion. I approached the situation, not from the psychological standpoint, but from the sacramental...how it is a special time to be assured of God's love (of course, more than that). One day she showed up at thP altar with a smile on her face. A miracle! After that she always...with that smile on her face.. Panic turned into joy..
FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: There’s a lot to panic about now a days but they key is to remember we are never ever alone. However I can’t say I wouldn’t panic if I had ANY bug in my ear!!===JACK: How about bees buzzing around the privy when you really, really have to use it. Panic! I think that I would forget the words, "Remember, you are never alone!",

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for Heav’n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I’m happy, sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.
Let not your heart be troubled,
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth,
But one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
Refrain
you never know, you just never know. ♥️
