WITandWISDOM(tm) - October 20, 2005 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Nobody stands taller than those willing to stand corrected. - William Safire, Columnist Source: DailyInBox Presents, http://dailyinbox.com ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Anatoli Levitin, a Russian writer and historian, spent years in the Siberian Gulag where petitions to God must have seemed frozen to the ground. But he came back quite spiritually fit. "The greatest miracle of all is prayer," he wrote. "I have only to turn mentally to God and at once I feel a force that pours into me from somewhere, into my soul, my whole being. . . . It comes from outside me - and there is no force in the world which could ever resist it." ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: Little Noah came into the house with a new harmonica. "Grandpa, do you mind if I play this in here?" he asked. "Of course not, Noah. I love music. In fact, when your grandma and I were young, music saved my life." "What happened?" "Well, it was during the famous Johnstown flood. The dam broke and when the water hit our house it knocked it right off its foundation. Grandma got on the dining room table and floated out safely." "How about you?" "Me? I accompanied her on the piano!"
