TO TAKE A STAND ........ or NOT
My blog is first and foremost an avenue to share my faith. Secondly, it is a place to share our family happenings and lives as a future record.
Increasing, over the past year, I have found myself taking a political and moral stand on many issues. I had never been particularly interested in politics in my past years. As I have seen things unfold, especially since 1-20-09, I have been compelled to speak up.
I do take a political stand on my blog because I am of the generation who let O'Hair take prayer out of school because we Christians sat back and said, "Oh God won't let that happen." WRONG...it did happen, because as Christians we did nothing. I vowed then and there that I would not and could not ever again not speak up for my God, my country and my beliefs when they were being attacked.
As I see more and more pictures like this, 
and read about 50,000 Islams gathering on the Capital Hill (I posted about this here) I MUST speak out.
The U. S. Supreme Court issued two bans. One in 1962 and the second in 1963. Both bans were the result of lawsuits against the teaching of religion and religious practices in public schools. Basically stating that organized prayer in schools was a violation of the separation of church and state. It was decided that publicly funded schools were an extension of the state, and that organized prayer or bible readings were a form of proselytizing. The bans not only banned mandatory prayer in schools but also banned the daily reading of bible passages. The lawsuits were supported by several organizations but the most outspoken supporter for banning prayer in schools came from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the founder of American Atheists, Inc.
ROE v. WADE
Decided January 22, 1973
"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalm 11:3
Please stand with me to defend and protect the foundation upon which our Nation was founded.
Speak out & most importantly PRAY!!!!!!
