I try to share this with my high school kids in hopes that they see a different way of understanding citizenship and their role in the world. This is why I love history though - we can have these conversations without getting caught up in current politics and see how these things develop over time. It also reminds me that traditionally the things that I do daily were considered honorable and valuable. This is also why I like CM because she talks often about duty instead of rights.

I am finding myself discouraged as I look out at our country, at my city and at myself. That all-important word DUTY, without which there is no such thing as democracy, seems all but lost. In the midst of that discourage and in the midst of Advent, I am praying for the Kingdom to come in a new way for us Americans.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370652206065562050noreply@blogger.com
