Jack’s Winning Words  (11/14/22)

“Carl’s so smart that he can Hula Hoop a Cheerio.”  (Andrew Rudd)  An analogy is a comparison between two things to make a truth more understandable, often in a humorous way.  Can you imagine hula hooping a Cheerio?  A high school student wrote this analogy: “Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze”.  Even Jesus used analogies, e.g. “Can a camel go through the eye of a needle?”  I believe that Jesus was like ordinary people, including having a sense of humor.   Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall seeing a picture of a laughing Jesus on a package of toilet paper.  Humor can help make our daily lives more enjoyable. Is there anything in religion that has made you laugh? ;-)  Jack

FROM AR's MOM:  Andrew comes up with some doilies, but Hula Hooping a Cheerio was stellar. Fun to see this WW today! Thank you. ===JACK: You have raised your children well.  Andrew has many fine qualities....and a droll sense of humor, too.

FROM SR RD: It is snowing white diamonds this morning. . .and they are winning over the snow blowers chosen work of making parking lots and sidewalks cleared!!===JACK:  Thanks for the Minnesota weather report.  After the recent election, the skies are sunny, but partly cloudy for some.

FROM DAZ IN COLORADO:  we could use more humor in church but some of the kids responses during the childrens sermon are worth a chuckle===JACK:  We had a new family in church on Sunday and a return of the Children's Sermon.  Pastor and children played "Follow the Leader", marchimg aroun the church.  "following Jesus" was the point.
