The Classical Past


This lovely painting, A View of Ancient Rome, by Samuel  Palmer (1805-1881), captures the Mediterranean beauty of this great city of Antiquity.  Rome, once the seat of the world's most powerful empire, was toppled by a gentle Shepherd.

We Cannot Forget . . . .

God in His graciousness has given this country so many blessings, the most important of which is the freedom to love and worship Him freely. Any "rights" that we may have actually are gifts from Him.  Men and women have courageously fought and died throughout our History to defend these freedoms and gifts.

I am worried about this wonderful country that He has given us, not because of the economy, the terrible oil spill, the positioning of yet another radical abortion rights supporter on the Supreme Court, but because we seem to be pushing Him out of our culture, our laws and our lives  with more haste and determination than ever before.
We cannot forget that we are "One Nation Under God."
