Abraham Lincoln on Converting to Christianity
This Saturday will mark the 148th anniversary of President Lincoln’s delivery of the Gettysburg Address.
After Lincoln’s assassination, a book was compiled containing many of his writings and letters. In the collection is the following paragraph from Lincoln:
“When I left Springfield I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ. Yes, I do love Jesus.”
You can read this entry, along with the rest of the book, here.
AG Approves Ballot Title for Casino Constitutional Amendment
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has approved the ballot title for Texas businessman Michael Wasserman’s proposed constitutional amendment to allow casinos in seven Arkansas counties—and his company would run them. He would also be granted a monopoly on casino gambling in the state. If Wasserman gathers enough signatures from Arkansas voters, his initiative will be on the 2012 general election ballot. Voters will then have the choice to either approve or disapprove Wasserman’s proposal. Read the attorney general’s opinion here.
