THE BAN OF NO PRAYER IN SCHOOL

TUESDAY! Good morning to all! I hope your day has started out great! It is only six days until Christmas Eve, and then the Big Day,,, Christmas, He was born, wow, we are saved, by our choice, just 2012 years ago! And we wake up in a free nation, able to do anything within the law of God, and able to profess Him out loud, in public, and without fear! We are blessed, so tell Him today of that blessing, that you are so thankful for,, for have you lately done this? Have a great day of our Lords , given to you and me freely, and with much, much love!!! THE BAN ON PRAYER OUT OF SCHOOLS I made a statement that we need to put prayer back in school , and I was hit by a person that asked , "are you sure you want this?" I , of course said yes! Then this person said , "If you want prayer in a school, what will you do when they say, then have your child bring a small rug with them to school, for at noon, all will get on their knees and pray to alla." Folks , I had to make my mouth close! This person was not against Christian prayer, as we know it, but knew how our system works,, so I have had to think about it....alot and we all need to think!!! In 1962, prayer was omitted in New York: The ongoing contention started when Steven Engel, a Jewish New Yorker, came together with other parents in 1958 to sue New York State over state-endorsed prayer that was being recited in schools. The Supreme Court inevitably sided with Engel and the decision was issued on June 25, 1962 — a day that lives in infamy in the minds of many religious individuals and free-speech advocates. The invocation in question was one that had been approved by the New York State Board of Regents. The prayer, which read, “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country,” was relatively benign in nature. Still, the parents were adamant that it shouldn't’t be uttered in the public sphere. Now, I still think that prayer should be offered in each school, and they should have that right, and they should have that moment at the start of each day, and it should begin with this statement, We will stop for 30 seconds for all to have a moment to themselves, to express to the God of their belief, , their thanks to that God, and for that God, to watch over them this day",,, and then this would give all the "melting pot of the human race" , their chance and their right to pray in school..and if yours is a Christian faith, as mine is,, then it will start in the home,,and then that child will pray to our God , the only God in my eyes,, daily, and at school,, and then,,, as before this law in 1963(banned nationally) ,, there were none, and hopefully would be NO MORE MASS SHOOTING IN SCHOOLS, AND WE HAD THE FREEDOM OF GUNS IN OUR HOMES THEN, WITH THIS PRAYER! God, I pray to You, for our schools to be turned back to You,and take away from those who are against You, and all You made us for, amen John HIcks I am tired of hearing all about the guns, and that smug smile on their face at the mention of prayer out of school,,, from the reporters, lets go to those victims, with hugs of love, and compassion, and start the healing public, what about it reporters? Mentioned before, that there is no atheists in a "Fox Hole", and confronted with a terrorist, and you, Mr. reporter are in the "Fox Hole" , have no arms, only a microphone in your hand,, what do you do with that microphone?
