A Trump for Christmas

A Trump for Christmas
Modern Servant Leader

It's been a month since this nation chose Donald Trump to captain the ship for the next four years. I think most of us can agree that this was a poor decision, but that doesn't matter. Whether we like it or not, all of us are getting a Donald Trump regime for Christmas.


What could we have done so wrong that we now deserve this? Once, Santa Claus delivered coal to bad children, but this year, S.C. is dumping bigmouth racists in our stockings (hung over the fireplace with care). Last week, I wrote about a log that shat presents in Catalonia. I can just picture the tio de nadal pooping out a Trump; after all, Trump's hair kind of looks like the poop emoji.


Our unwanted Christmas present has already picked his henchmen for his administration, and it's looking mighty grim. He's got the co-founder of the WWE heading the Small Business Association and a known climate change denier, Scott Pruitt heading the EPA. Hopefully, I don't have to tell you why these two picks in particular suck. This whole business reminds me of how elementary school hall monitors would pick their buddies to help gang up on other kids.


Either way, it looks like we'll have to buckle ourselves in and reluctantly await the follies our Christmas gift will bring, because we are indeed getting a Trump for Christmas, make no mistake. And sadly, your parents can't just save the receipt and return the unwanted item to the store in this situation; we are stuck (unless the recount thing occurs). All we can do is wait the way we used to wait for Christmas...except for four years not 25 days.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
