No doubt the first Temple of Zeus was a pile of rocks ~ the Lincoln Memorial is not a Temple of Zeus!

Problem I have here is with Press and the people he works with ~ they have no idea where God wants to sit down and watch.

One day after the First Gulf War we were down on the Mall and there was an exhibit of the missile lanchers, planes and other devices used in that war.

I was standing up on an antimissile launcher when I realized that it was surrounded by Orthodox Jews saying prayers ~ it was humbling. Not that I was apparently suddenly the focus of attention, but that I had forgotten to thank God for the weapons to destroy the enemy ~ there are nearly 40 gentlemen whose names I keep in memory who were taken by Saddam Hussein from the main post office operation in Kuwait City.

They went away and never came back.

The Jewish prayers stirred my memory ~ which in the excitement of the period had skipped over those guys, and I too went around to major items and made sure that God knew I really, really, really appreciated being on His side, and that it was good that He had opened the minds of our scientists and engineers to make sure all of these weapons were in our hands.

The temple of Lincoln is well established.

I'm humbled by your reverence and recognition of God's small details. I would have been on of the many who paid no respect or observation to what you beheld.
