Daily Bread for Whitewater, Wisconsin: 11-19-10

Good morning,

Whitewater’s forecast calls for a breezy day, with a high temperature of forty-seven degrees.

On this day in 1863, President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, at a dedication ceremony for a national cemetery at Gettysburg. Lincoln saw suffering, yet was an optimist, believing that some things would endure even through suffering. I believe it was Stanley Crouch who once referred, with respect, to Lincoln as a ‘tragic optimist.’
