A Godly Foundation

From the white house go to the Washington monument. On the cornerstone is a Bible, and on the top is an aluminum cap that says “laus deo,” they’re the words engraved on the east side, which mean praise be to God. This is the first thing to be touched by the rays of the sun at Washington DC.
Lincoln Memorial, 16th president’s words on the wall “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” With malice toward none, with charity toward all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in…
This nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom…
Walk beside the reflecting pool look across to Jefferson memorial. On the wall, he says of God, “the plan of the holy author of our religion…” God, who gave us life, gave us liberty…
East past Smithsonian to the capital. This is where Jefferson attended church services in the capital when he was president, the kind that talk about Jesus, and were held there for over 50 years.
Behind where the president delivers the state of the union address, above his head,  see, in God we trust.
