This Pastor has guts!!
Thought you might enjoy this,
Its very interesting
This is a Prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems Prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate,
Everyone was expecting the usual generalities,
But this is what they heard:
"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!"
The response was immediate.
A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea
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 whole heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "one nation Under God."
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. "If you don't Stand for something, you will fall for everything."
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. How many People in your address book will not receive this prayer....do you have the Guts to pass it on?

Omg, great book. I didn't want to put it down. I did shed a tear or two. Loved it. This is my first Stacy Claflin book but it sure won't be the last.

Saving Meghan by D.J. Palmer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
OMG, This was a emotional roller coaster read. I cried a couple of times, got mad and questioned myself throughout this book. This is was exciting and had a few twists that i didn't see coming. There is nothing worse when you question yourself and your sanity and this is exactly what the two main characters went through. What do you do when those you are supposed to trust betray you? AWESOME book and characters. They feed off of each other both good and bad. A must read. I wouldn't mind seeing this in a movie format. Hmm?
