Ed Jones, Pastor With all the uproar about removing the Ten Commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time. In Washington, D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument. On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument, are displayed two words: Laus Deo. No one…
