"Surely God would not have created such a being as man to exist only for a day! Man was made for immortality." — Abraham Lincoln
I remember studying the life of Abraham Lincoln in elementary school and he has been one of my greatest heroes. I memorized the Gettysburg Address with my fifth grade class and again in 2013 inspired by Getty Ready. The words are some of the most beautiful and sacred ever spoken. I have had the privilege of visiting the Lincoln Memorial three times and at each visit have been filled with profound reverence. I give thanks for this humble, brilliant, wise President whose belief in God and moral compass saved our Union and abolished slavery.
Today we honor him on the anniversary of his assassination 150 years ago.
"My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side." — Abraham Lincoln
"My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of Earth."
— Abraham Lincoln
