There are dozens of people you meet each year. You only need to make meaningful connections with even 10 per year to make a huge difference in their lives, and for this country.

You sow a seed; the next conservative, if he is also trying to be a ‘fisher of men’, plants another, and it goes on.

You know the story.

If you don’t FEEL like you care, do it anyway. C. S. Lewis wrote that if you do even what you don’t feel like doing, it changes you, it changes you for the better. And God doesn’t have us ‘do things’ based upon whether we ‘feel like’ being nice today. We are supposed to because we are commanded to “...Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself.” Yeah, it’s hard, and no, we can’t always follow through. But, we’re supposed to try. If the Church (that is, all the Christians) were actually all trying to do that, it wouldn’t be the lukewarm Church it is today.

You obviously don’t know me, or have any clue what I do every day.
