New School Prayer

Written by a 15 year old school kid in Ohio:

Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. ?

Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise..

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. ?

For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. ?

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong, We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong. We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd. ?

It's scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen

If you aren't ashamed to do this, Please pass this on.

Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'

Rest In Peace

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that my friend is gone. The thought of only seeing her in pictures and /or old video is one I find hard to bear. It's amazing when you think about how often we take the relationships we have with others for granted. She called me a few days before her passing because she couldn't find Oprah's new network on her Canadian station. We'll I wasn't much interested in Oprah's network and didn't know what channel it was on on the US station so I figured I'd call her back when I knew something. After a couple of days had gone by one of my friends on facebook had a site with Oprah's information and it appeared that there wasn't a station for Canada. I'd been meaning to call her and tell her that but knowing how resourceful she was I figured she'd found it. That was the last message I received and will ever receive from her. The thought of that brings tears to my eyes. People...

Red Truck of Mercy

That’s it, I quit, I give up!! That’s right I’m throwing in the towel, waving the white flag. I’m finish, I’m done. If I never see snow again it will be too soon for me. I just finished working an eight hour overnight shift and the last thing I want to do is shovel. As a child I couldn’t wait until it snowed. My cousins and I would spend hours playing in the snow we were supposed to be shoveling. Now when the weather man predicts snow I hope and pray he’s wrong. I thank God for snow blowers, plows, and throwers. Unfortunately my little snow throwers are gone for the weekend, I don’t have a snow blower and didn’t reach my neighbor who has a snow plow until I was half way done. The bible says to give thanks in all things. When I saw him pull up in his red truck I said ‘Thank you Lord, because you know I’m tired'. A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing…. (Proverbs 17:22 ) Merry Christmas & God Bless

Strings of Faith

“Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh. Is there anything to hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27 Has the joy that once filled you slowly deserted you? As talks of lay-offs and businesses going bankrupt sweep across the nation stirring fear in the hearts of many during this holiday season. Unemployment is at an all time high and jobs an all time low. Gas prices seem to be dropping as the price of food continues to increase. Though there have been lay-offs in the postal service the bill keep on coming. As all times this is truly a time we have never seen before. Brothers and sisters this is not the time to loosen the strings of your faith. Our father is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. He doesn’t punch a time clock nor is he bound by the restraints of this world. The condition of this nation is scary for many but it's nothing for God. Its times like these I am glad He works in the realm we can’t see. If you’ve ever been in a crisis and made it through by what some may call a ...
