WHAT DID WASHINGTON THINK?

a tragedy was reported in today's houston chronicle that prompts me to write. a young man who had served in iraq killed himself recently. he was back here, and seemed to be coping with his life well. but, he killed himself. that reminded me of my thoughts about george washington and his purported ritual of spending one hour in personal devotions each night. -now, before i go further, i read the wikipedia article outlining washington's "religion" ;and the description there was much less definite. however i will continue with my thoughts: maybe, if george was spending that much time in prayer, he was trying to learn from God if the revolutionary war WAS God's will. maybe president washington had his doubts about the decision that he had made earlier.
