Just finished reading "Killing Lincoln" By Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard http://amzn.com/B004ULORYU
It was an amazing read! I learned so much more about Abraham Lincoln, his faith, his family and the crazy tough job that was being the President of the United States. John Wilkes Booth was a passionate man, and we should be passionate people, but at what cost?

The cost of being a disciple:

Mark 8:34-38

New International Version (NIV)

The Way of the Cross

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
