Fa-Voo-Dorie ... Fa-Voo-Dorie

This morning,
I'm reminded of the best part of that Christmas kiddie classic -- the sound that greets the Grinch's ears the morning after ... whilst he awaits atop his mountain to see how the little Who's will react upon learning all that he took from them, in his evil scheming the night before Christmas...

They sang.
Like the Congresspeople who joined hands the day after the attack, they joined hands and sang. He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming afterall ... his evil acts didn't change the fundamental nature of the holiday: "It came, all the same."

Likewise, the terrorists didn't change the fundamental fabric of our country. Sure, we might have overreacted... We might have made superficial changes, and erred with following our temporary leaders in power.

But they still haven't yet changed the fundamental values we believe in, the pillars of our democracy. Those still stand.

"Fa-Voo-Dorie" ... = Freedom.

"It Came, all the same..."

Make it a great Sunday out there, and don't forget to count your blessings, collectively or alone, eh?
