PRAYER QUOTE:

"Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men.

I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business." [turning point of success for the 1787 Constitutional Convention]

--Benjamin Franklin
