Sometimes things in life are looking great. You’ve got all your ducks in a row and then, Boom! Your life is t-boned.

Can there really be right and wrong if everything is subjective to one’s personal values?

If only we all strove to show our works in the meekness of wisdom, how different our country and culture would be. 

We live in an age of secularism, one in which we each find meaning within ourselves and our own pursuits, rather than seeing our lives as fitting within a greater transcendent narrative.

Whether one is Christian or not, these days it seems that there is a universal sense of the overwhelmingly exhausting nature of the holiday season. Yes, it is fun and exciting, but we’re almost glad when it’s all over.

Alas, if we want to restore the moral order, it starts with each of us, no matter our station or vocation in life. Each of us must love the good and be courageous in all we do.

Since the Europeans and the indigenous peoples shared in their sins against their fellow men, on this day feel no guilt in celebrating Columbus and his intrepid voyage across the Atlantic. He wasn’t perfect, but he was a giant among men. 

A culture war is just as serious as a traditional war, even more so in many cases. There is no neutral in this fight, it’s a total war for the very soul of our nation.

The question for the individual, no matter the opinions of the dominant intellectuals of our age, is which way is the path of the good life?

Maybe more of us need to work at strengthening that first community, teaching our children how to live in charity with each other if we are to begin rebuilding the bonds of community in our society.

Are we still filled with that spirit of freedom and independence?

Our society is rapidly declining because our souls have decayed. It is only through family and education that future souls can be restored to their potential glory.
