As we live, we forget...

It does seem that there are many things we forget over the course of time and the last two postings are a couple of things that i have heard of many times, but have never taken the time to read, never even really thought to read... and so, I have never even known the words the come before and after "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" and there are many. And Lincoln's speech, in the face of an ongoing civil war, with no certainty of the outcome, is quite amazing...
That is our history. That is what has afforded us these freedoms that we all take for granted everyday. Thank God for our leaders of the past, and I'm praying for those of our future that they maybe lead us in the right direction.
