Food for Thought

From the founding of the colonies to the declaration of the Supreme Court, America's heritage is built up on the principles of the Christian religion.

And yet the secularists are dismantling this foundation brick by brick, attempting to deny the very core of our national life.

You weigh the evidence. Consider the following facts which are being systematically erased from our nation's memory:

•In 1892, the Supreme Court of the United States declared, "This is a Christian nation."
•During the War for Independence, Congress resolved to import 20,000 volumes of the Bible because "the use of the Bible is so universal, and its importance so great."
•The New England Confederation stated that the purpose of the colonies was "to advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the gospel in purity with peace."
•Harvard College required that each student believe that "the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life."
•John Adams wrotea, "The Christian religion is...the Religion of Wisdom, Virtue, Equity, and humanity."
•Engraved on the metal cap on the top of the Washington Monument are the words "Praise be to God."

The Bridge Builder

An old man, going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide-
Why build you this bridge at the evening tide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head:
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today,
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.

This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."

Tuesday, November 29,,2011 - Where did November go?

I was amazed this morning, to find out that November is already over, next thing we know, the year will be gone. I should have known it was almost Christmas, I put our tree up on Thanksgiving Day. Well, I took it out of the plastic bag, carried it to the living room, and put it on a pedastal table, in front of the mirror. I actually did that for our GREAT Grandaughter, Miss Brooklyn, as we call her.

Having Miss Brooklyn for dinner added a whole new dimension to the day for me. She sat at the table with us, had her own plate of food, and was the highlight of the day. How nice it is to have a "little one" around.

Now, I am considering putting the tree, which is maybe 2 feet tall, in a corner, on the floor, so Miss Brooklyn can see it betterr. Making a little "fairyland" for her. And, the tree is a good size for her.

I had another revealation the other day, I am in my 80th year, even though I just turned 79. You live a year before you have your first birthday, so, the day you are born, you are in your first year, so, I am in my 80th year. It took a while for that to be explained to me.
