The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Except the Lord keep the city,

The watchman waketh but in vain.

-- The Bible: Psalm 127:1

(King James Version)

On this day in 1963, according to the Associated Press, "John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas; Texas Gov. John B. Connally, in the same car as Kennedy, was seriously wounded; a suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was arrested; Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president."

The following is a quotation from the address President Kennedy never got to deliver in Dallas on November 22, 1963: "If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be no help."

"Prosperity Comes from the Lord" : The King James Bible

PROSPERITY COMES FROM THE LORD
from the Bible: Psalm 127 (King James Version)

Except the Lord build the house,
They labor in vain that build it:
Except the Lord keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows:
For so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord:
And the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
So are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
They shall not be ashamed,
But they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
