Perhaps...just perhaps....in His infinite wisdom, is it possible that he waited for such troubled times as these (post 9-11, daily terrorism scares, US standing somewhat alone against a new "evil empire") that he timed this event to remind us all of our bright future in His hands through the faith and determination of Reagan? There is a reason for everything!
