God, give us Men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking!
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking;
For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.

There is an old adage that says you can give a hungry man a fish, or better still, you can teach him how to fish.  Jesus would add that you can teach a person how to fish, but the most successful fisherman has hungers fish will not satisfy.

I can now enjoy the benefit of time’s distant view.  The Jesus I know and love today I encountered at the age of seventeen.  But His name and His tug in my life mean infinitely more now than they did when I first surrendered my life to Him.  I came to Him because I did not know which way to turn.  I have remained with Him because there is no other way I wish to turn.  I came to Him longing for something I did not have.  I remain with Him because I have something I will not trade.  I came to him as a stranger.  I remain with Him in the most intimate of friendships.  I came to Him unsure about the future.  I remain with Him certain about my destiny.  I came amid the thunderous cries of a culture that has three hundred and thirty million deities.  I remain with Him knowing that truth cannot be all-inclusive.  Truth by definition excludes.
