Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation

Better a poor but wise youth
than an old but foolish king
who no longer knows how to heed a warning.

Ecclesiastes 4:13 (NIV)

Shot heard around the World!

This phrase has come to represent the beginning of many historical events -
like the American Revolution (1775 - 1783).
And its genesis can be traced to
Ralph Waldo Emerson's Concord Hymn :

"Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world ..." !

Emerson words immortalized the American Minutemen resistance
to the British forces back in 1775,
as the British were on a mission to seize and destroy
the American militia ammunition and weapons.
