Jack’s Winning Words 8/12/21

 “If it weren’t for baseball I’d be in either in the penitentiary or the cemetery.”  (Babe Ruth)  There are lots of “Bambino” stories…many of them true, because he was an unusual character as well as a home-run hitter.  I like this one… The Babe always kept a cabbage leaf under his hat to keep cool. He changed after every two innings…Ruth retired from baseball when he was 53…He had a troubled childhood and began chewing tobacco at age 7…It is probably true that “baseball saved him.”  Was there something significant that altered the course of your life?  ;-)  Jack

FROM WILLMAR REV:  ". . . a close personal friend I've followed for over 70 years now!" 0;-)===JACK:  "A friend is someone who knows all about you and likes you just the same." 

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  now that is one rather interesting insight into Babe's life and career!   ===JACK:  If the truth were know, we each have interesting segments of ;ife, known only to a few.SP: have you ever felt the need to preach with a cabbage leaf on your head?   Personally, I prefer lettuce.===JACK:  In the summertime a friend of mine who conduct worship in his underwear, covered only by his alb.===SP: Wow!  hope all the Velcro holds tight.===JACK:  There's a cincture (rope) as a backup.

  

FROM CM IN CALIF:  My neighbor in West Bloomfield altered my course!! ===JACK:  The friends that we've had and the experiences we've shared definitely had an effect on our present.  You've made a difference also!

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Interesting WW on Babe Ruth. He WAS quite a character! My life was pretty mundane in comparison! But a very happy one!! :-)===JACK:  Though Babe was not a twin, he had more than enough "experiences" to count for being a twin.  The "B" Twins had their share of experiences.

FROM RD AT SB:  YES! Being baptized in the Holy Spirit as part of many years of participation in the Charismatic Movement in the catholic church!===JACK:  Does charismatic mean caring more about others than you do about yourself?  Or, does it mean having the love of Jesus as a aprt of your life?  Or, what do you personally think the word means?

FROM HOMELESS:  As you know, my sister D changed my life with her gift of " a home" last fall. I will forever be grateful.===JACK:  Out of the bad often comes good, i look look hard enough and wait long enough.
