Hi. I have lovely colors for my blog tonight. I got the following email from a friend of mind and felt it was worth forwarding to whomever might read my blog.
AGREE OR DELETE
This is by a daughter of a murdered couple in Raytown , MO ,
who had a Bible and Bookstore on 63rd street .
This is by a daughter of a murdered couple in Raytown , MO ,
who had a Bible and Bookstore on 63rd street .
She says:
When I had to testify at the murder trial of myparents a week ago, I was asked to raise my right hand... The bailiff started out "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"
I stood there and waited but she said nothing. She said "Do you?"
I was so stunned I blurted out "What happened to "so help me God'?"
She came back with "Do you?" I replied yes, but I was perplexed.
Then the judge said . "You can say that if you want to."
I stopped, raised my right hand, and finished with "So help me God!"
I told my son and daughter that when it came time for them to testify, they should do the same.
I don't know what can be done about it, but it's time for us to step up and DO something.
NBC this morning had a poll on this question.. They had the highest number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the percentage was the same as this:
86% to keep the words, 14% against.. That is a pretty'commanding' public response.
I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't.
Now it is your turn.. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Why is the world catering to this 14%?
If you agree, pass this on, if not, simply delete....
In God We Trust

If You Choose To Delete
Perhaps Then You Are Part Of The Problem
Me? I'm Passing It On.
It seems to get worse daily.

I think I got the above graphics to stop. Today was a fine day. I had breakfast with my dear friend Bob Fleming and we shared art and eperiences and lots of wonderful ideas. He is a very special person. I am sending his Icon of St. Patrick to the Brigidine Sisters in Kildare.
The rest of the day was quiet though productive. Gary Anderson, a maintenance expert came and fixed the closet doors in our house that were in need of repair. He is coming back to repair the floor tile on one of the bathrooms. I thank God, Mark Kleinhans and a neighbor for Gary.
Be safe and happy and know that you are in my prayers.
God love you
Mary
