ii. Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift.
We have hard work to do and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle,
face it: ’tis God’s gift.
Be strong!
Say not the days are evil. Who’s to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce, O shame!
Stand up, speak out
and bravely, in God’s

I watched a brilliant film with my son Jared a short while ago called, “Downfall”. It is about the last ten
days of Hilter’s Nazi Germany, the last ten days in an underground bunker when the realization of the colossal failure of Nazism and of its war efforts was dawning on Germany’s leaders at the
