Political foo: advice for conservatives..
Nov. 20th, 2012 08:51 amOne of the very few political sites I still read is National Review Online. I used to frequent many more, but I've dropped this one or that one over time. Either the content was lacking or the constant arguments became more wearying than enlightening.
I subscribe to a couple of the NRO newsletters, one of them "Morning Jolt" by Jim Geraghty. In his first newsletter after the election, he offered some simple advice to conservatives: get some rest.
It's been a bruising last two years, and we all know more fights will come. He warns against the dangers of burnout. We're not just fighting to elect one set of politicians or another. We want to see our culture renewed. That's hard work. Sometimes, you just need to take a rest. Take care of family, work, and home for a bit. Spend time with God or art. Curl up with a good book or go out hiking or spend a few nights out with friends.
The holiday season is a good time to get some rest. If your relatives are like mine, you might huave to bite your tongue a bit, but try to enjoy the family gatherings. Get your rest.
