MY ANSWER
It seems like every time our family gets together for a reunion we end up arguing about politics - sometimes pretty viciously. We'll be having a family picnic on the Fourth of July, and already I'm dreading it. How can we get out of this rut?
One way to avoid this, of course, would be to agree among yourselves that you simply weren't going to talk about politics. You may even be able to suggest this in advance to one or two people who can influence others.

MY ANSWER
My uncle always makes a big deal about making a list of New Year's resolutions, although a month or two later he forgets all about them. Now he's bugging me to make a list. Why should I bother? It'll just make me feel guilty when I fail to keep them.
Far too many people go through life without ever stopping to think about the road they're on, and whether or not it's the right one.

You're right: Holidays are especially hard when we've lost our loved ones or they aren't near us, and the friendship of another person is especially welcome then.
MY ANSWER
The other day, a friend asked me how many of my New Year's resolutions I'd managed to keep, and I had to admit that I'd forgotten all about them. He admitted that this had been his experience, as well. Why do we have so much trouble changing our behavior?
We want to do what is right - but we don't have the moral and spiritual strength to do it. ...
MY ANSWER
Did Jesus really rise from the dead on that first Easter? How was it possible? Or is the Easter story only a nice myth - just a symbol of the hope we all have for life after death, as one friend of mine says?
Jesus Christ was a real man who really suffered and died - and on that first Easter He really rose from the tomb.
