Carl Sandburg on Abe Lincoln
Saw this on another site and it really arrested my attention and gave me lots of food for thought this week:
Carl Sandburg, the noted Lincoln historian, records that during a
meeting in the White House during the Civil War, a local preacher
said to Lincoln, "It is my prayer that God is on our side in this
war." Lincoln responded that he believed that prayer to be wrong. He
said, "It is my prayer that we are on God's side."
