00:25federal government, quickly captured, convicted, and put to death for his
00:29crimes. Today we think of the toddlers at the Murrah Building Day Care Center who
00:36would be in their 30s today. We pray for their moms and their dads, but we must
00:41also pray for our country again. The rise in political tribalism and the hate for
00:46others must stop. Our faith in this government must never be diminished in
00:51any way that turns to hate and violence. American author Napoleon Hill wrote that
