Do you remember the poem that starts off, “In Fourteen hundred nine-two” or “In fourteen nine-two”? How does it continue?
“In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”

Since I’m standing here in church, you might guess my focus are on the religious implications of his arrival on the shores of the New World.
