All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?Benjamin Franklin

So much for the "we're not a Christian nation" idea. That's a GREAT quote.
Exactly Rev. Paul. I love your quote on your blog today. Anyone who likes this quote should stop by Way Up North and Read Rev. Paul's quotes.
No, an empire cannot rise without His aid, but it can and will easily crumble without His aid, as the state of this Republic clearly illustrates.
cg,
I completely agree with you.
