I think of it not so much as a Christmas movie as an inspirational one. Your Head Trucker saw this film in the student union theater during my first term at a big university, nearly half a century ago. Mine was not the typical college experience: I was broke, friendless, and terribly homesick for a place I could never return to. But the quiet inspiration of Frank Capra's magnum opus gave me comfort and lit the way ahead; it was the grace of God that I needed in that lonely time. I am still grateful for that.
When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on tight. When you come to the dark tunnel of despair, go through it -- and at the other end, you will find Hope.
Keep on; do what you can. Your life matters more than you know.
