Pic of the Day

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies


For amber waves of grain


For purple mountain majesties


Above the fruited plain

These are words from "America the Beautiful" written by Katharine Lee Bates, who wrote the words as a poem originally entitled "Pikes Peak." It was first published in the Fourth of July 1895 edition of the church periodical, The Congregationalist. It was at that time that the poem was first entitled "America."
