LEARN SOMETHING
Can't resist a point about history. It was called "Promised Land," with a "d" by Moses, and 3,000 yrs later by M.L. King. The land "of milk and honey" that God had promised as home for those who followed Moses out of Egypt. It took them 40 yrs to find it, and Moses (King) didn't get to go there and enjoy it with them after all his years of faithfulness. But it also symbolized a future full of promise...so in that way, you are right.
