John traveled to the capitals of four states today--New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Although traffic clogs every road, distances are short between capitals.In Concord, John snapped this photo of a replica of the Liberty Bell in front of the capitol. In fact, every state possesses a Liberty Bell, for replicas—crack and all—were commissioned in 1950 by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and shipped as gifts to every state. Did you know that on the Liberty Bell a verse from Leviticus is inscribed? Click here to read about this American icon and here to read about the bell now hanging in Philadelphia's Independence Hall.
John has now prayed at 35 capitals. By the way, if you're wondering about the difference between "capital" and "capitol," the capital is the city and the capitol is the building. To see the latest map, click here.

I looked up Lev 25:10
WOW WHAT A VERSE TO HAVE ON THE LIBERTY BELL
And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaimed Liberty
throughout all the land to all its inhabitance. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
