I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT. IF I OFFEND ANYONE BY THIS, I REALLY DON'T APOLOGIZE ! Subject: Tennessee Football !
This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston, Tennessee, by school Principal, Jody McLeod
"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."
Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK.
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex..." If someone is offended, that's OK.
I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem...
I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.."
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.."
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated..
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.
Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.
For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time.
"However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet."
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.
They prayed in the stands.. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box!
The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."
Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten.. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!
JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.."
If you are not ashamed, pass this on .
I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on, Are you?

King of the Road by Roger Miller
CLICK HERE to view the video which details the amazing career of Roger Miller,
who wrote and sang King of the Road and many other top hits in the 60's and 70's.
For you youngsters
CLICK HERE to hear my version of King of the Road.
A very cleverly written song by a very clever man who passed way too soon, in 1992 at age 56. (From lung cancer).
I sing King Of The
Road on my CD named "Croonin the great hits
CLICK HERE".
I don't know if Roger was a Christian believer or not but his
rare talent was certainly from God, and I always enjoyed seeing him perform.
I think his final home was in Santa Fe New Mexico and at that time I lived in Albuquerque and saw him perform live there.
Just wonderful.

Just keep ignoring us, Washington. That's the way arrogant leaders get replaced.

Is the White House becoming the Muslim house?
So....let me get this straight-- We will throw a ISLAMIC prayer service on the CAPITOL GROUNDS OF OUR NATION within just a few months after the National Day of Prayer (which is a multi-faith event) is canceled by the WHITE HOUSE???!!! (It's happening on Sept 25th.) Read About It Here. 50,000 Muslims expected to attend. Leader of "Islam on Capitol Hill" said: "The White House Will Become the Muslim House," Details are emerging on the mass outdoor Islamic prayer event that will turn Capitol Hill into a giant outdoor mosque.
Obama has stated several times that America is not a Christian nation. But the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that we are a Christian nation: Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 143 U.S. 437 (1892), they held that “this is a Christian nation.”
Also, Obama denies the military fly-over of the God and country rally which has been going on for 42 years, due to it's CHRISTIAN NATURE. What the God and Country rally is.
Will the White House become the Muslim house? Is it already the Muslim house? I don't know. Just questions some people are wondering about.
I am posting below a copy of the original proclamation of the National Day of prayer estabished in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln which has by Obama been calously tossed aside into the ashpile of irrelevance.
As a Christian, it saddens me to see the change in priorities so evident in front of our eyes.

On March 30, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the following proclamation:
By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation.
Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation.
And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment, inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole People? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!
It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th. day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer. And I do hereby request all the People to abstain, on that day, from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several places of public worship and their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.
All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty seventh.
By the President: Abraham Lincoln
William H. Seward, Secretary of State

Elvis Presley's Gospel Music Connection - Gospel Roots of the King of Rock 'n Roll
Elvis Presley's Gospel Music Connection - Gospel Roots of the King of Rock 'n Roll
I have always been fascinated with the music and complicated life of Elvis Presley.
To me his earlier songs were some of the best - the simple ones containing just his voice and little additional instrumentation.
I still have a his Gospel music long play record. Yes, I even have a turn table.
My favorite song by Elvis is "I Can't Help Falling In Love with you" which is on my CD "Croonin' The Great Hits". See if you think I sound like Elvis. Ha. Not really, he was a hard act to follow!

Who Is Jesus, really?
Are you a non-believer?
What if there is chance, no matter how small you may think that chance is, that you are wrong?
Wouldn't it be worth it to spend just a little time to check it out?
I can tell you that I was once the most intense non-believer imaginable. My beautiful 25 year old God-loving wife. mother of our nine month old baby, died a miserable death from cancer and God did not choose to heal her. Immediately I believed God was a bunch of hype.
When I found out that I was wrong, I was shocked! I said to myself, "you have got to be kidding, you mean this Jesus stuff is really real? No way! Are you serious?!" I was flabergasted!
How I found out that I was wrong is a long story, so for now I simply want to share an amazing link with you which shows: Who Is Jesus, Really?
When there, click on Questions. Serious searchers will find their answers there.
