I was awakened by a brief dream where small rectangular pieces of wood were being scattered by a passing vehicle. When I picked it up I watched as the number 1565 formed on the piece of wood. I woke up and began to pray over my citiy, St. Augustine. 1565 is the year St. Augustine was founded. Every year the founding is reenacted here. Father Lopez, first pastor described the landing and settlement here on September 8, 1565: "As I had come ashore the evening before I took a cross and went to meet (Captain General Menendez) singing the hymn Te Deum Laudamus. The general, followed by all who accompanied him, marched up to the cross, knelt and kissed it. A large number of Indians watched these proceedings and imitated all they saw done." At the 400th anniversary a great cross was erected on the grounds of the Mission de Nombre de Dios which is close to where the landing took place. Praise God for His faithfulness towards us in this city!
