Jack’s Winning Words 10/23/19
“You are perfectly cast in your life. I can’t imagine
anyone but you in that role. Go play!” (Lin-Manuel
Miranda) If a movie were to be made of your life, what *star*
would fit as you? The old song is right...”There’ll never be
another you!” Fingerprints, facial recognition, DNA? God has made
each of us as “one of a kind.” In the Bible the psalmist wrote: We
are wonderfully made, intrically woven. “Quiet on the
set! Scene 10-23-19! (You’re on!) Go play!” Jack ;-)
FROM SF IN FL: Good morning! Love this!===JACK: As I was paying for breakfast this morning, the cashier said, in passing, "These days there are cameras everywhere." Smile, you're on camera somewhere.
FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: Who would play my life? I have no idea. Most of
the actresses are unknown to me. But it would be a comedy.===JACK: Since you're on your own Green Acres, how about Lisa (Eva Gabor) playing you? Oops! I just read that she's dead.
FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL: Good one, Jack. Thanks
FROM ETR: Very cleverly written. Bravo!!===JACK: Have you even been mistaken for someone else. Someone came up to me once and thought that I was Gordie Howe, the hockey player.
FROM BLAZING OAKS: So creatively put: I loved this! My students used to say I looked just like the mother in "Happy Days"
with Ron Howard and Fonzie. Since I was always at church on Wed. nights when it played on TV I didn't get to see
her...But fun that they often made that comparison! :-) yes, we are all unique, and fearfully and wonderfully made;
(There is a great book by that title, by Dr. Paul Brand and Philip Yancey. Jaw-dropping info. on how intricately our physical bodies are made! I re-read it every so often to remind myself of how marvelously created we are to function
on Earth!!) YOU are one of his marvels! Thanks,
Jack===JACK: Recently, as the doctors were looking for a source for the infection that was bugging me, I had a chance to look at test results for the various organs in my body. The echo-cardiogram was especially fascinating.===OAKS: Yes, I've watched my echo-cardiogram, and heard the loud swooshing, as blood surged (which you don't hear as it swirls through the valves and veins ordinarily!) It is interesting, and a little unnerving!===JACK: ...and to think that it's been operating that way, day in, day out, since birth. Wow!
