Jack’s Winning Words 9/19.10

“I must uphold my ideals. For perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry

them out.”  (Anne Frank)  Do you know a 15-yr-old?  Anne wrote her diary when she was

about that age.  While she didn’t directly name her ideals, I’m taking a guess.  “To be truthful;

to be forgiving; to be tolerant of differences; to trust; to be dependable; to keep promises.”

These ideals fit any age.  May we uphold them and carry them out in tribute to Anne.   ;-)  Jack

FROM JT IN SJ:  WOW.  Poignant!  What a tribute to Anne!  Thanks for your winning words! ===JACK:  Anne....an ideal 15-yr-old.  A cutting from the tree that inspired her grows as a tree on the property of the Holocaust Museum...about 5 miles from where I live.

FROM GOOD DEBT JON:  Yes, once you get on to this you’ll find, encouragement is “free to give” and the good news is, it improves the giver.  It takes so little to be kind and when we can make it a part of our being blessings expand.   ===JACK:  It's nice to be able to say the right things...and to do the right things.  It's even nicer to be the right person..."Doin' what comes naturally," as Irving Berlin wrote. 

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  For a life cut tragically short, Anne Frank has made her mark in the world! We certainly need those reminders in today's world, under the Trump administration, (and

probably under any President's administration if we knew the whole story at the time of history happening!) The ideals you list are certainly worth trying to follow. And if we do, we can sleep easy at night! :-)===JACK: Some of these ideals we follow naturally.  Some, we have to work at.  I won't ask you to differentiate.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  God had a wonderful use for this child.  She had wisdom beyond her age and she was a great example of those lost to the insanity.  May we always use her as a tremendous example of humanity.===JACK:  It would be hard to keep her out of heaven, wouldn't it?
