Jim's Quote of the Day:
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of
heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity;
we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever
grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand
which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened
us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts,
that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and
virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become
too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving
grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us." - Abraham Lincoln,
Oct. 3, 1863
