As we celebrate President's Day, which actually combines the celebration of the birthdays of both George Washington (Feb. 22) and Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12), I put together a couple of slideshows from pictures I took in the Washington D.C. area back in October 2007.
I posted the one dealing with George Washington earlier. While I have far fewer dealing with Abraham Lincoln, I nevertheless wanted to share those with you.
Lincoln was another of our most important presidents, having preserved our nation in it's most desperate hour, when strife and civil conflict almost tore the states inseparably apart.
Lincoln was a humble man, a Godly man, but a man of strength and resolve. It has a lot to do with why he was chosen as one of the remarkable presidents to appear on Mount Rushmore. .JPG)
I've included a couple of shots of the White House, and unfortunately the only others I have from my D.C. trip--other than his great memorial itself--are related to Lincoln's death. There are a couple of the outside of Ford's Theater where he was shot, and some of the house across the street where he eventually died.
Was Lincoln a Christian? Read his second inaugural address and see what you think. There is more on Lincoln's faith if you care to read it, but I doubt he would have been able to bear the incredible burden of the Civil War, were it not for his trust in God.
I hope you enjoy this President's Day slideshow as we remember one of the great ones: Abraham Lincoln.
