I’m writing this at 1 o’clock in the morning on Dec. 27, two days after Christmas and three days before the calendar turns to 2024; the perfect time to consider a different approach for celebrating the New Year.
Imagine the joyful grin and the sparkling eyes of a three-year-old child as they woke up on Christmas morning in anticipation of what gifts Santa put under the tree during the night.
How many of you will have the same look on your face as you celebrate on New Year’s Eve in 2024?
As citizens of our once great country, we must recognize that the time is now for us to overcome our fears by individually seeking divine help as our Founding Fathers did when they wrote the Preamble to our Constitution.
Then we must reach common ground as they did to proclaim with our votes that:
“We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
