Have We Forgotten?

Citizens of the United States,

Who are we? What is happening to this great nation? All we do is point the finger at somebody else. We have stopped taking responsibility for our own actions. Why do people feel that they are entitled to everything in this nation? What happened to hard work to earn what one has? What are we leaving for future generations and what are we teaching our children? I want everyone to read a prayer given by the great Billy Graham to our Lord and Savior.

'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 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 pornography and called it freedom of expression. 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. Amen!'-Billy Graham

How does this not make sense? Take a minute and set your issues, feelings, political preference, and busy lifestyle aside and use that God given brain. Check yourself........your morals........and the decisions your making. Are they the right one's? We have got to come together as people. From what I remember, the words are "for the people, by the people". Our elected officials are our employees. We decide what is right and wrong!!!
