Amen!!!

I love, love, love e-mail and just mail in general and it sometimes annoys me when people don't email. I seriously check it at least ten times a day! That being said I am not a huge fan of forwards. I will look over them, but if something doesn't catch my eye I am quick to click delete. My aunt just sent me an email that caught my eye and figured it was post worthy! I did verify the information through snopes. If you haven't heard of snopes. It's a website that will verify information circulated through the world wide web. 

 

This article is some what lengthy be a good read.

 

 

 

 


Thought you might enjoy this interesting
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
por
nography 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 wholeheartedly become our
desire so that we again can be called 'one nation
under God.'
  

 

 

AMEN!!!
