Lincoln

This weekend I finally went and saw Lincoln. Guys. If you 

haven't seen this spectacular movie yet, you must!

Even though I knew the outcome of the movie, I was

still on the edge of my seat, biting my nails.

Daniel Day Lewis is Abraham Lincoln and every other

actor was truly immersed in their historical role.

But something I caught at the very end of the movie was

Lincoln's second inaugural address. The conclusion is

shown below. I realized as Daniel Day Lewis spoke

those beautiful words that they eerily apply to today.

Every word fits like a historic puzzle piece into these

tumultuous times we are encountering now and possibly

in the future. These are encouraging words, inspiring words,

words that pick up a nation once and could do so again.

"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."
