Where are the tithes, the legacies, the contributions to expand, for instance, private religious schools ? Where are the vocations to the priesthood, to service, to ministry ? Reclaiming California will take sacrifice, personal sacrifice. No election will give you this.
How very true and well said!...at least except for the 'regretting its lack in politicians is pointless' part.
We still need true leaders in public life...nature abhors a vacuum, and if we don't have the best, we will have the worst.
It's not an either/or kind of thing. America's ultimate hope, you are correct, is not to be found in her politicians, but in her people. But nonetheless, our government was designed to be of the people. We need personal renewal always, but we need a renewal of reverence for God, respect for life, and love of liberty in our political leaders too. That's why we call them 'leaders'.
