TR On Heroes

"Every great nation owes to the men whose lives have formed part of its greatness not merely the material effect of what they did, not merely the laws they placed upon the statute books or the victories they won over armed foes, but also the immense but indefinable moral influence produced by their deeds and words themselves upon the national character." Theodore Roosevelt

St. Valentine's Day

Valentine was a third century pastor who was imprisoned for his faith.  He wrote small pastoral notes to members of his congregation on leaves he was able to pluck from a maple tree just outside his cell.  These little “Valentine’s cards” expressed his love for the flock, and his desire that they demonstrate like love toward one another.  Gradually the tradition grew up for Christians to exchange notes of love and encouragement to one another every year on his birthday, February 14.
