Yes, the 21st century is a scary place.

Yes, the 21st century is a scary place.  Like me, you may be going through hardship.  Perhaps it has lasted a long time and you are feeling weary.  Maybe you are scared just like the British were that the equivalent of an invading force is about to be unleashed on you.  Here is the plan:
  • Be Courageous: Do the right thing no matter what.
  • Be Cheerful: It will make you and others feel better.
  • Be Resolute: Analyze, understand and define the matter and stand firm.

Like a lot of the things we worry about, the Germans never did invade England.  While they bombed her and terrorized the British with randomly aimed buzz bombs, the courage, cheerfulness and resolve of the British (and the fact that America took their side in the fight) brought them through.  It will do the same for you and me no matter what we may be facing.
