Challenges shall arise

Founding Fathers always knew

Banking on nation’s resilience

Diligence sees us through

 

Compromise offers path

Democracy’s open door

Common ground must be sown with faith

No longer keeping score

 

Nation’s tomorrow calls

Steering with imperfect hands

Leading always, “Of the People”

Across freedom’s great land

 

With each generation

Grateful nation never bends

Defending democracy’s quest

Freedom’s proud dividend

In his Gettysburg Address, President Abraham Lincoln immortalized the continuing spirit and faith in the American experiment of democracy with these words, “. . . that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.  It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.

Start where you are, use what you have.

Arthur Ashe (1943-1993) was an American professional tennis player.  During his distinguished career, he won 76 tournament titles, including three Grand Slam tournaments.

We often become mentally and spiritually barren because we’re so busy.

From Proverbs 21:5:  “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to want.”
