We had a first time visitor tonight at TLBC prayer meeting. (Sheila Rogers) It was also good to have the Turners back home from their trip to Idaho. Mom is still ill. We are taking her in to see the Dr. tomorrow.
Last night there was an interesting story on the news about the terrible drought they are having down in the Southeastern part of the country. The Governor of Georgia called for a day of prayer. Several ministers met at the Georgia State capital and prayed for rain to replenish the reservoirs for a lot of the state drinking water. Of course some were already complaining about what they called a breach of the separation of church and state. (idiots)
What a blessing it was to see on the weather channel that there were thunder storms all over Georgia tonight. PRAISE the LORD.

http://thelordsbaptistchurch.comNEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The
following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Aye from
GA. This guy should run for President one day...
"We the sensible people of the United States , in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots,
keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the
blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-
great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish
some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden,
delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be
self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of
Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or
any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them,
but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This
Country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you!
You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion,
etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm.
If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful,
do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your
relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.
Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly
help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing
generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve
nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional
couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....
don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be
nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in
public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people.
If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be
surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If
you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens,
don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a
place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a
life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want
you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we
expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and
vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American
means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is
a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws
created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you
are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you
came from! (lastly....)
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history
or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in God. And yet, you
are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all;
with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part
of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it,
TOUGH!!!!
=================================================
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and
nothing tragic will befall you if you don't . I just think it's about
time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United
States speak out because if you do not, who will?
