According to Colin Powell, not by principles and dogma, but by what will capture hearts and minds.
That’s exactly backwards. The heart is deceitful - Bible principles are the only sure foundation.
Update: A fairly good answer from Rush.
We’ve gathered for years in some snowy clime
To play in the cold of the winter sublime;
The Merricks, solid folk of Scottish decent
And the Covers boisterous crew of good intent
To ski o’er the snow with the greatest of ease
Or to board at the peril of face and knees.
The children grow and group expands
To meet the needs of the respective clans.
First was Sir Robert way back in the day
Then Shandi, now Trevor, and Laura J?
But the poet gets ahead of himself
And risks getting scolded by ski bunny or elf.
So we won’t speak of Harvey, Harry, or George
Flirting with Audrey or Angela in some snowy gorge,
Or Virginia or Felicity or Helen or Sunshine
Pursuing young Jon or Sir Robert before time.
We all power up with pods, phones, and computers,
Watch bowl games on TV and stop being commuters.
We eat well and sleep well and rub our sore muscles,
And enjoy family and friends without hustles and bustles.
