9/11 20th Anniversary: President Bush Speaks to the Nation
It has been two decades since that fateful day that forever changed our nation. We vowed never to forget and the implications and consequences of those acts of terror are still with us today. The night of the attacks, President Bush went before Americans and gave a simple, brief, and clear speech. It is not the eloquence or power of it that makes it Worth repeating. It is when it was delivered; on the night of a day we should never forget. The use of Psalm 23 is an eternal comfort and I am glad he used it. It spoke to me twenty years ago and still does today.

In 2020, We Need to Hear Them. Christmas Bells, 1863
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was in a very dark place in 1863 when he wrote this poem that would eventually be set to music and come to be known as I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. He lost his wife in 1861 in a horrific way. Still grieving, Longfellow wrote in his journal on December 25, 1862, "A merry Christmas' say the children, but that is no more for me." In 1863 his son who enlisted to fight in the Civil War was gravely wounded in battle. Longfellow was nursing him back to health at home. Deeply depressed and despairing on that Christmas morning 1863, he heard the bells, and the rest is history.

A Measure of Devotion: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is more than iconic. It is impactful, profound, and inspiring. It is historically significant and worth not only repeating, but remembering. Only a few minutes long, embarrassingly brief by the standards for oratory of the day, Lincoln's speech evokes the most profound idea of the American founding, "that all men are created equal". This principle which is so essential to democratic society yet so hard for human nature to embrace, express, and experience in its fullest cannot be forgotten. In 1863, Lincoln called the nation to live up to this ideal, to not allow the to dead to have died in vain by quitting and failing to bring to realization for all the inherent equality that all humans posses in the eyes of God.
