Today’s reading in the Founder’s Bible (pg 19-26) begins w/Gen 15 & God’s promise of a son to Abram, but most of the reading today is the article about The Barbary Pirates & America’s 1st War against radical islamic terrorism. Absolutely fascinating history & what Washington, Adams, Jefferson, & Madison faced in their day. Also very interesting is the real story about The Treaty of Tripoli & the very misused phrase “The government of the US is in no sense founded on the Christian religion…” Get the full story. And all you jarheads… you’ll love learning where “leatherneck” comes from.
