A Question of Character

“It’s not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day.”

Homer Simpson

One of the definitions of character is, the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. I would argue that character goes deeper than that. I believe that society sets the standard for character. The dictionary leaves it open for a person to have bad character, I would equate that with little or no character. Typically we think of character as something a person demonstrates in adverse conditions. While a person may show great character doing something they want to do. They are best remembered for their performance in situations they didn’t like.

Today we see Hillary Clinton’s character. She will demonstrate her strength and honor. She can choose to show us her best or something less than that. I believe that any questions about her character will be fully answered by the end of this day. I believe we will see a person who just completed one of the biggest political donnybrooks in recent history exhibit such strength and grace that the rest of us will see what her supporters knew all along. We will see Hillary at her best. Make no mistake about it, this day will be painful. It will hurt. If you truly believe in what you are doing, admitting you won’t be successful is very painful and hard. Today is Hillary’s day. We need to surround her with our prayers and praise, she’s earned them.
