Abraham Lincoln’s “House Divided” speech included this quote:
A house divided against itself, cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.
Today, the USA government seems like a house divided, again. The whole country, the whole planet, seems like a house divided, which cannot stand.
Yesterday, I saw this:
That “house divided” is very close to the Atlantic ocean, so I don’t know how long that’s going to stand, either.
I don’t know how to unite this house we all live in, except to keep blogging and sharing photos like these:
This comes up when I search YouTube for “A House Divided”:
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2020, thanks to all who help me create this daily blog from our house (including YOU).
The only place the house is “united” is at the table. We’ll get through this crisis too, Ann- even though it takes time. Have a nice day, Ann
Thanks, from my house to yours, for another very nice and uniting comment.
Many thanks for inviting all into your house)
Same to you, my welcoming friend.
I believe that as long as our goal is to make it a welcoming house that shelters everyone equally the house can stand some internal divisions.
That is our goal, Chris. Many thanks to you.
Australia’s house is divided as well.
I know. Let’s stand together.
Many houses are divided thankfully not my personal house
I’m thankful to hear that, Jo-Anne.
