It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
~George Washington
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

It's highly contested as to whether or not Washington actually said that quote. You can read more here (and as the site states, it's attributed to him over 500 times online!): http://www.religioustolerance.org/badquotes.htm (about halfway down) and the address it is attributed to is here: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Washington%27s_Farewell_Address
I'm not advocating one way or another, just sharing. :)
One of my favorite things about Washington was how humbled he was by the idea that he was leading a nation, as well as his well-known tolerance of all religion. more here: http://www.beliefnet.com/foundingfaith/searchresults.aspx?topicid=120&topicname=religious+tolerance
Happy Presidents Day!

Due to Joe's work at Ground Zero, our church has started adding firefighters and police officers to their prayers for servicemen. Peace to you and yours.
