This is a time for
perspective and appreciation.
Focus on all that’s right
with you, your family and your country.
Think of what the birth of Jesus meant and means. Be joyful.
Life on earth is temporal,
indeed. If you strive to lead a good
life, take pleasure in the effort and don’t blame yourself for the shortfalls. We conservatives are, above all,
realists. Since utopia is not for earth,
we can hardly expect perfection in ourselves or in the attainment of our
quests.
As for politics, the ebbs
and flows continue. We are entitled to
bemoan that substantial numbers of our fellow countrymen, and our President, in
particular, seem determined to lead America astray, intentionally or
otherwise. But 2014 offers hope.
So, of course, the struggle
continues, as it will after we are gone.
All we can do in the meantime, really, is be true to our principles and
God and carry on. And isn’t that a fair
definition of a good life?
Merry Christmas.
