Jack’s Winning Words 6/5/19
“The world is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel.”  (Horace Walpole)  The Comedy and Tragedy masks associated with theater can also be used to describe today’s world.  I’ve read that “The most shoplifted book in America is the Bible.”  Funny or tragic?  I and many others are distressed by current poverty, the isms, selective healthcare, shootings, brutality.  Thank God for people who are trying to make this a better world.   ;-)  Jack

from st paul in st paul:  good words for today, Jack.  thanks! ===JACK:  Which mask are you wearing today

FROM ANNE McC:  Are they stolen from hotels where people may know the are given by Gideon?  ===JACK:  When I was a patient at St Joe's I noticed that there was no crucifix in my room.  I asked someone about it, and she said that people keep stealing them when they check out.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  It’s sad people have to shoplift the Bible.  It should be available free to anyone who wants to read it.  The church fails at that outreach.  But it fantastic they want to read it!  That’s Good News!  ===JACK:  One year at church we gave away Bibles that were divided in such a way that you could read it in a year by reading a section a day.  Another year we made available to anyone who wanted it, the Good News Bible, translated  in today's English, and it was written in book form, so that it read like a regular book.
