Jack’s Winning Words 7/21/20
“May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.”  (Rev Peter Marshall)  Back in 2012, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Rep. tried to fire the Chaplain for being too political in his prayers.  That was a far cry from the time (1947-49) when the prayers of U.S. Senate Chaplain, Peter Marshall, for their forthrightness and integrity.  Apart from  praying, how much freedom do you think freedom allows?  …just to do whatever pleases you?  ;-) Jack

FROM LBP:   Hmmm seems like a difference in freedom vs free will. But in the end someone has to decide what is “right”... right?===JACK:  There's a hymn that I like...
Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
some great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
and the choice goes by forever, 'twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust,
ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 'tis prosperous to be just;
then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside,
till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had deniedecide what is “right”... right?===JACK:  There's a hymn that I like..."Once to very man and nation"
