ON Sunday during worship time we sang old songs from our forefathers about our country. The songs that remind you (even though people resist) our country was founded on the BIble, and the faith in God. God Bless America, Our Country Tis Of Thee, and many more. I started crying thinking of the status of our country today and thought how far off we have gone, and how unfortunately we have abused the favor that God placed on our country. Then today I read an email that described Billy Graham prayer over our beautiful country and see that I am not alone in my thinking and how true he is. I will cut and paste the part that moved me and I believe that is the state of our country. I know that many of you will not agree with me....but I am using my chance of free speech to hold fast to what this country was truely founded on.
Exert of Billy Graham's prayer
"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. "
May God continue to bless the USA and if He doesn't God help us.
My most favorite preacher of all time. I still watch old sermons of his.
