Thank you to all of our American friends for standing with Japan during this difficult time. We truly appreciate the incredible outpouring of support following the earthquake centered in the Kumamoto region.
“I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men. 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, sir, in the sacred writings, that ‘except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.’”- Benjamin Franklin, June 28, 1787, calling for prayer at the Constitutional Convention
I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen. 🙏���
Today, America wakes 250 years later as a beacon of hope, a republic entrusted to its people, an idea that changed the world.
A nation worth preserving. A dream worth pursuing. A freedom defended by every generation.
Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
“The birth and survival of the American Nation under God is, quite simply, the best and most incredible thing ever to happen on this planet by human hands—ever.” - President Donald J. Trump
Dec. 25, 1776.
The American Revolution was on life support.
Six days before Washington crossed the Delaware, he wrote his brother a private letter.
"I think the game is pretty near up."
His army had shrunk from 16,000 men to under 3,000. Soldiers were deserting by the day. Enlistments expired January 1st. Congress had already fled Philadelphia.
The commander of the Continental Army wrote that the Revolution was finished.
Six days later he crossed an ice-choked river in a nor'easter with 3,000 exhausted men, marched nine miles through the storm, and attacked the most feared soldiers in the world before dawn.
At least two of his men died from exposure before they ever reached the battle. A cemetery near the crossing site still marks where they rest.
The plaque doesn't give their names, just "sickness and exposure." America's first unknown soldiers, 161 years before Arlington got its guard.
Washington chose a password for that night that said it all: "Victory or Death."
Our first president's tenacity built the country. It's still the most American thing there is.

Possibly Trump’s greatest speech yet:
“You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a Communist, or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both.”
Inject this into me veins!
