On Monday, the Oklahoma House approved a resolution to adopt “In God We Trust” as the state’s official motto.

This resolution replaces the perfectly cromulent Latin phrase “Labor Omnia Vincit” or “Labor Conquers All Things” found on the state seal as described in the original constitution and long assumed to be the state motto.

Unfortunately, amid the tumultuous business of starting a state, the founders never got around to declaring it an official “motto.” Thankfully, the current House has found time during a legislative slow spell to correct this mistake.

The resolution now heads to the Senate for consideration.
