We Need More Of This

I know that I have a tendency to challenge people to live up to their professed beliefs. I believe that it is very important to do so. When I can read something like this about a Cub Scout who crawls grave to grave, to honor the dead for Memorial Day, it is truly uplifting.

This 10 year old, James Milam, already knows more about how to live life than most adults do. He is informed. He acts on his beliefs. He views his life as being in his control - despite his physical issues, he is not a victim.

It is because of children like this that I have little concern about the future of our nation. The youth of today seem to be developing very, very well. They seem to understand the responsibilities of being American more than my generation did (and to a large part does).

We have great kids in this country today. I wish that these kind of articles about them weren't so few and far between. If the children are our future, right now I'd have to say it's pretty bright.
