Amen Ben!

"God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 original manuscript of this speech Benjamin Franklin

Ben had quite the way with words, didn't he? I know I describe a lot of what goes on in government as babble. :o)

Peace and Laughter,
