For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Several years ago when my family and I visited Philadelphia we toured Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed. We saw the Liberty Bell, and all the sights so cherished in our nation's history. To a history buff, it is an exciting place to visit. However, of all I saw, that which excited me the most was the epitaph on the grave of Benjamin Franklin, located just in sight of Independence Hall. It was written by Fran ...
