Yes, this is really my 1000th post 
Hard to believe I’ve been blogging for just over two years now.
It’s getting pretty discouraging though. Lately I’ve been wondering whether I should keep going with it or not. After more than 25 months, I’m regularly pelted with spam, but not much else.
Is anyone even reading anything? Or are my words just floating out there in cyberspace?
“If a tree falls in the forest…”
Oh good grief! Enough with the melodrama.
And yet… it is disappointing.
All along my mission has been trying to help people see the truth – how the Christian worldview is the only one that makes sense out of our individual and collective human experience, and of the world around us (how it corresponds to reality). How the Founders’ vision of America was the surest hope – not for utopia – but for the best civilization that fallen mankind can attain.
Instead, more and more I’ve been feeling like this…
… still despondent over an election that seemed to indicate our country’s headed downhill faster than anyone can stop it.
We’re immersed in moral relativism. Not only do so many not know the truth, many of them don’t even want to.
So do I quit or what…?
Well, yesterday I ran across this video of Ted Cruz (speaking to FreedomWorks); first-term Senator, Texas Tea Party favorite, patriot (Dare we hope that we finally have an incorruptible representative in the Senate?) – which helped snap me out of my apathy ~

Here’s the line that really made an impact (Cruz is referring to blocking gun control legislation):
“What was critical… was the involvement of the American people.”
His confidence optimism is infectious.
Also, I often forget there are many sources of inspiration if I only look around – both contemporary – and historically. The Bible is full of examples of individuals who persevered against all odds; from Noah (some 100 years!), to Joseph, David, to Jesus himself, and His many martyred disciples.

argument who aren’t willing to lie down and give up,
then there’s still a chance for victory.”

We (the conservatives, Christians, Tea Partiers) have to stay strong. We have to stay engaged. It’s going to take time, but giving up really isn’t an alternative.
So, I’m staying in the fight – because it’s the Right thing to do.
I’m ready to start on the next 1000 posts!
