Thought this was really neat!

OPENING PRAYER - KANSAS STATE SENATE > >Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in KANSAS at the >opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people. >When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas >Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what >they >heard: > >Heavenly Father, We come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to >seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who >call evil good," but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our >spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that: We have >ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism. > >We have exploited the poor and called it the Lottery. >We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. >We have killed our unborn and called it choice. >We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. >We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building >self-esteem. >We have abused power and called it politics. >We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. >We have polluted the air with profanity and *****graphy and called it >freedom of speech. >We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it >enlightenment. > >Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin >and >set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to >direct us to the center of your will and to openly ask these things in the >name of your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. > >Amen. > >The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the >prayer in protest. > >In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Reverend Wright is >pastor, >logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding >negatively. > >The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this >Prayer >from India, Africa, and Korea. > >Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program "The Rest of >the Story" and received a larger response to this program than any Other he >has ever aired. > >With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and >wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called, "...one >nation under God..."

well, i guess nobody really cared for this. I thought it was really neat for the most part other than calling laxieness, wefare. I grew up on welfare and it's not always about being lazy. That I take offense to. The abortion thing, well I guess I believe there are times when abortion should be ok, like insest, rape, or aids or drug addicted babies being born. It should be a choice in matters such as these, maybe i'm wrong, i don't know but that's only my opinion.
