We had a long evening/night.  That's as much as I'm going to say about it.  We got to bed around 1 AM so we both slept in and at least I am planning a nap sometime today.  Enough said.

I'm taking the morning off from writing but thought I'd include the following:  the link goes to an article that should be read by anyone thinking of voting for a socialist.

The following is an enlightenment that we should all look at closely as to just how far we've strayed from some of our principles.


This event actually happened in the Kansas House (not Senate) in Topeka on January 23, 1996.   Joe Wright is the pastor of Central Christian Church in Wichita and was guest chaplain that day.  He prayed a prayer of repentance that was written by Bob Russell, pastor of  Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. According to an article in the Kansas City Star from January 24, 1996, his prayer did stir controversy and one member of the legislative body walked out.  Others criticized the prayer.  The controversy didn't end there.  Later that year in the Colorado House, Republican representative Mark Paschall angered lawmakers by using Joe Wright's prayer as the invocation.  Some members there also walked out in protest. 

Paul Harvey did air the story and the prayer.  He got such a large response that a phone number was set up to handle the calls.  He's aired it a couple more times since. 

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

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything" 

Maybe it's time to have this prayer in both houses of congress.wing is interesting and should be thought about.
