Illegal Prayer!!

The first congressional session that ever convened in this land we live in, began with a prayer meeting. Now, however, school officials at Pace High School in Florida face criminal prosecution and possible jail time for praying before meals at the school.

I remember when I was growing up we used to talk about our arch enemy, the Soviet Union. They were controlled by the evil of Communism. We even talked about them in school. One of the worst evils of Communism was that it was Godless. They didn't allow the Bible in public and you certainly couldn't pray in public. As a nation we saw and realized how oppressive this regime was and how dangerous it was to the very fabric of what made up our great nation.

There was real evil in our nation such as racism, but historically in England and in the U.S., although many who called themselves Christians embraced racism, it was also true Christians are the ones, who led much of the resistance against it, most notably William Wilberforce in England as he fought against slavery and slave trade. So, I understand the nation was not in a state of euphoric perfection, but there were foundations that were endorsed and adhered to that had made this nation great. We had a Christian heritage. We actually prayed in schools back when I began my education. It was not illegal or oppressive it was the acknowledgement that we needed more than our own ingenuity to succeed. We needed the blessing of Almighty God and we asked for it. And you know what? He gave it!

Our students were some of the best in the world. We excelled in understanding, agriculture, science among many other things and became a world leader.

With the action being considered against these school officials in Florida the realization is now beginning to appear very clearly that we have become our enemy!!
