   Date of illustration :  1989

   This Pen and ink illustration was done for the cover of a church statement of 
   faith.      I named this illustration, Foundation of America because I believe
   this country was founded by christian who had strong faith in the God of the
   Bible, and through faith , prayer, and sacrifice, the patriots over came The 
   mighty British military . By the hand of God, A new nation was born, The United 
   States Of America.   When  the united states was filled with God fearing 
   people, God raised The country to be a supper power, and the world envied 
   the united states and flock to her shores the land of freedom and opportunity.
   Now this country has forgotten the God who Has given birth to her, Now is 
   setting up new idols to worship, idols of wood , stone, metals, that do not 
   hear or see, or care.    Because the united states has forgotten God, It has 
   been plagued with storms, tornadoes, flood, drought, and her enemies are 
   raging war with her, waiting to celebrate her full.    
   It is my hope and prayer that people who love this country would return to 
   honoring God, and return to giving Him thank for all the great works He has 
   done for this nation, and turn from our sins and follow after God by obeying  
   His Word, the Holy Bible.    That God would remove His hand of judgment ,  
   and His blessing may return to our country.

  This church was fist built in 1890 and still is being used as a church.
   it is located in Norristown Pennsylvania
   This was the first Bible believing church I attended, when I became a christian.
