November 21, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Tuesday, November 21.

Tomorrow marks the 60th anniversary of an event that shook the world. There are certain moments in history that linger in our memories. Moments when we remember where we were when we heard the news. For my parent's generation, it was the attack on Pearl Harbor. For my daughter's generation, it was the attack on the Twin Towers. But for my generation, it was November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Charles Spurgeon, the 19th century English preacher considered to be one of the greatest pulpiteers in history, had this to say about the greatest psalms - "If Psalm 23 is the most popular, and Psalm 103 (Bless the Lord O my soul) the most joyful, and Psalm 51 (Create in me a clean heart) the most plaintive, then Psalm 84 . . . is the 'Pearl of the Psalms' ".

On November 15, 2017, a painting was sold at Christie's Auction House in London. It went for 475 million dollars, the highest price of any artwork in history. The painting, "Salvator Mundi," is a portrait of Christ by Leonardo da Vinci. The buyer was the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who, the next year, was accused of ordering the assassination of a reporter from The Washington Post newspaper.

But those that have experienced the joy of an animal who becomes "part of the family," understand it all too well. Here are some quotes that have encouraged me the last few days. I hope that they are a blessing to you this morning.

On November 10, 1956, the Marine War Memorial was unveiled near Arlington Cemetary in Washington D. C. Maybe you've been there to see it. Even if you haven't, you know the statue. It's a re-creation of the famous World War II photograph of the marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima. A fitting way to remember the bravery of soldiers and the sacrifice that they gave to protect our freedom.
