How many lives Winston Churchill led in his 90 years: son, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, soldier, newspaper correspondent, author, historian, Member of Parliament, Minister of State (multiple times), Privy Counselor to four monarchs, painter, bricklayer, Prime Minister (twice), statesman, savior of his country, perhaps the greatest Englishman. If he had lived in the early Middle Ages we would regard him as a figure of myth, like King Arthur. Long Before his death he was a legend in his own time. May God, in His Mercy, send the West such men and women in the future.

The quote you posted could not be for a more appropriate time than for this current era. A time of Paganism. Hedonism. Widespread anti- Christian thought that is sweeping across the landscape. William Shakespeare penned it best when he wrote *What’s foul is fair and what’s fair is foul.*
We are surrounded by “foul barbarians.”
From my Facebook page on November 11, 2023. Go there for pictures.
Spent a couple of days in Kansas City and on the way home we stopped in Fulton, the site of “America’s National Churchill Museum.”
Fulton Missouri is about an hour west of St. Louis. it is an unassuming small town that is the site of Westminster College. In 1946 the college bestowed an honorary degree to former Britain Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. He was invited to come to the college and give a speech. President Harry Truman, from Independence Missouri, encouraged Churchill to come to his home state, promising to introduce him. History was made that March day because Churchill made his famous “Iron Curtain” speech. “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the continent.” These words, spoken in the middle of Missouri, began the Cold War and defined geopolitical thought for the next five decades.
