This was forwarded to me. I like it's message and it really is that way here in Georgia, too, at least where I am.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN

SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT

OUR SOCIETY.

IF I OFFENDED ANYONE BY THIS,

I REALLY DON'T APOLOGIZE

This is a statement that

was read over the PA

system at a 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 lifestyle,'

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

FreedomFROM 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

LOVE it! Thanks for passing this on Jeanie!

Ohhh I like that ((( Smiles )))

So that really happened wow!
But the North is good too..
We have our problems out here as well but lots of churchs
and prayer out North too..
I'm a Northeren/Southerner..
From both sides..
By birth.
Does that work???
Can I do that..
If I can, thats what I am..
