Jack’s Winning Words 12/1/19
“When witten in Chinese the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters—one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.”  (JFK)  I’m trying to remember what crisis Kennedy was talking about?  Regardless, crisis-times have ways of coming into our lives with no warning.  Decisions have to be made.  Looking back, I see that in some of those situations, life was changed for the better…a new and unexpected opportunity appeared.  Praise God!  ;-)  Jack


FROM  M&L M:  Good point Jack!  ( Cuban Missile Crisis).===JACK:  I should have remembered.

FROM LG IN CT:   JFK referred to the build up of Soviet ballistic missiles in Cuba as the Cuban Missile Crisis.===JACK:  I was living in the Chicago area at the time and recall planes and copters in the skies..almost continually.

FROM RS IN TEXAS:  Cuban missile crisis, perhaps?  After that, US and Soviets took first steps toward nuclear test ban treaty.===JACK:  The perfect example of a cisis...andI lived thru it.

FROM WALMART REV:  That Book you and I have made a living out of all these years by expounding it's content has never ran out of examples of such crisis turning into marvous revelations of God's Handy Works!! 0;-)===JACK:  Good Friday was crisis time.....Is this the end?  Thankfully. we know that there is more to the story.

FROM NORM'S BLOG:  We will all face a few crises in our lives or at least situations that we feel are crises. How we react to them perhaps depends upon which of the Chinese characters we see. Do you see only the danger in a crisis or can you see the opportunity. We see and hear on the news almost daily about “heroes” who spring into action to rescue someone who is experiencing a crisis moment – perhaps involving an accident or fire or some other calamity. I’m sure that those heroes see the danger involved, but they choose to take the opportunity to help....JACK:  We will all face a few crises in our lives or at least situations that we feel are crises.
