I love this short daily email from American Minute by Bill Federer. It's so encouraging to see the words of elected leaders focused on the God who keeps them everyday. I highly recommend signing up for this daily post here.
Today's post is especially interesting. On September 8, 2005 President Bush Declared a Day of Prayer and Remembrance after one of our Nation's worst natural diasters... Hurricane Katrina.
Another act of destruction on September 8 in the year 70 AD, was the city of Jerusalem. It was recorded that a million people died there as the Roman army laid siege. For centuries people have wanted to visit this historical site...including Abraham Lincoln.
Mrs. Lincoln recalled her husand's last words in the Ford Theater... "He said he wanted to visit the Holy Land and see those places hallowed by the footprints of the Savior. He was there was no city he so much desired to see as Jerusalem".
