"God shed His Grace on Thee"
We live in such a time that Christianity would seem to be coming a thing of the past. The vanity and the arrogancy our humand condition is pathetic. Flesh and blood government thinks itself invincible somehow. Humility is not honored, truth and honesty are a joke, and morality is passe'.
Today we have a National Day of Prayer, which was instituted on 1952 ! ! Wow ! So we gather at our Nation's Capitol to READ the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Perhaps we should call this day "National Day of READ". Just kidding. We are all so Thankful for the "Prayers" in the Body of Christ. There WILL be prayer this year at City Halls, Parks etc. throughout our nation , and even Prayers in helicoptors flying over various sections of our nation.
At a time such as this, I'm reminded to Pray all the more fervrently for friends and acquaintances who have not yet found Life in Christ Jesus.
For some time two scriptures keep coming to my mind :
Hebrews 4:2, " For unto us was the
Gospel preached, as well as unto them:
but the Word preached did not profit
them, not being mixed with FAITH in
them that heard it. "
11 Thessalonians 2: 11
"...and for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion, that they might believe
a lie. "
"...and firm our souls with self control, Thy Liberty and Law " ( part of a stanza from "America" as close as I can remember , so pretinent today.)

I thought the White House chose not to observe the National Day of Prayer. At least everyone else is praying. Obama will eventually have to confess that Jesus is Lord, and I hope it isn't too late when he does.
I sat back and was sick to my stomach because our leader barely acknowledged the National Day of Prayer.
I'm sorry to say this, but things are getting worse and worse.
I say HURRAY to State's rights! I admire Montana, Utah and Texas for TRYING to turn things around and not allow the federal government to take away ALL of our rights.
It's a horrible thought and ONLY God can turn things around for us at this point in time. Will there be another Civil War? I think if it means that we can keep our FREEDOMS and RIGHTS - it may have to be. But that is only my opinion. God sees the big picture.
By the way, do you remember lunchmeat, tomato and lettuce sandwiches? Yummo! You made the best lunches...:).
This nation is so busy kow-towing to special interest groups that pretty soon we won't even have a National Day of Prayer. It'll be "All Faiths Day", and we'll be inundated with lessons about how all the world religions worship. And if someone dares to mention the Christian religion, they'll be chastised for not being more "open minded" and for shoving their beliefs down other peoples' throats. It'll be awesome. Can't wait.
That's why Obama chose not to observe The National Day of Prayer. He didn't want to "offend" all our special interest groups. By the way, have you heard that Hawaii has designated a special day as "Islam Day"? Good grief. Can you imagine if Christians even TRIED to do something like that? Oh, wait we did. It WAS National Day of Prayer.
From "The Sermon On the Mount", by Jesus of Nazareth:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy inner chamber, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee. And when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them, for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
AND
Amendment I, The Bill of Rights of The United States of America:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
...but you theocrats, as usual, will interpret both examples to your own liking. Do us all a favor and move to Texas, secede, wallow in poverty, and fight amongst your ignorant selves.
