It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very
hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We
Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we
just tell the 14% to shut up and sit down????
If you agree, pass this on, if not delete...
Billy
Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and
to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to
those who call evil good," but that is exactly what we have done. We
have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We
have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded
laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it
choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We
have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self
esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted
our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the
air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of
expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our
forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know
our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!"
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The
Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than
any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep
over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again
can be called "One nation under God!"
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail
list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a
try!)One
Nation Under God!
WRITE IT ON THE BACK OF
YOUR ENVELOPES
I THINK THIS A GREAT
IDEA.
You may have heard in the
news that a couple of Post Offices in Texas have been forced to take down
small posters that say "IN GOD
WE TRUST,"
The law, they say, is being violated. Anyway, I heard
proposed on a radio station show, that we all write "IN
GOD WE 'TRUST " on the back of all our
mail. After all, that is our national motto, and it's on all the money we
use to buy those stamps. I think it is a wonderful idea. We must take back our nation from all the people
who think that anything that offends them
should be removed. If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT. The idea of
writing or stamping "IN GOD
WE TRUST" on our envelopes sounds good to me.
It has
been reported that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, I have a very
hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In
God We Trust"on our money and having God
in the pledge of Allegiance. Could it be that WE just need to take action and tell the 14% to "sit
down and shut up"?

RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it. RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice resident with car phone, until you earn both. RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure. RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping they called it Opportunity. RULE 6
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
