Something to think about?Read all about it!
I was reading the newspaper this morning & noted a couple of interesting snippets. First up was a piece about a glass statue of Jesus on a mountainside in Wales, being stored away for safekeeping during the recent storms. Before reinstating him they brushed clean the site, the comment was short and sweet, JESUS SWEPT.
The shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35: “Jesus wept.” But for all its grammatical simplicity, it's packed with unfathomable complexity
On the same page was a picture of mourners at John McCain funeral, with Mrs McCain sat next to Bill Clinton. Now, THIS Mrs McCain wasn’t his wife but his mother aged 106. How many octogenarians are likely to have their mother at their funeral?
It is a coincidence for me today to come across a favourite quotation ‘A man’s character is his destiny’
Many define the term character as a cluster of personal attributes that define who we are as individuals. ... Heraclitus penned the Greek aphorism “Ethos anthropos daimon” which was being roughly translated to “character is a man's fate (or destiny)”.
It just so happens that John McCain has written a book, back in 2005 on this very subject & which I Have ordered from Amazon today.
BTW there are quite a few on JESUS WEPT.
Now what was all that about?
