To the Editor:
Is it time to reexamine our times and what is going on? For some time now, (I would say maybe 50 years or more) we have been doing things our own way and complaining that things go wrong.
There was a saying (I believe it was a commercial) and it went something like this: “Please mother I would rather do it myself.” Well we have been saying that and it does not seem to be working.
Now with all the talk of the recession being the worst since the big depression we should be able to see that we need to reevaluate what we need to do. Some say the politicians are to blame others say differently, it still boils down to the fact something has to be changed from the way we do things.
Now we have let someone allow the Bible taken away (no prayer in school, no prayer in public what so ever they say only maybe silent prayer so we do not make someone feel uncomfortable).
Maybe if we let God do it instead of we trying it would work. We need to accept the fact that we have a maker and He made us to be self-sufficient.
The Bible says {Psalms 139:14- I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.}. This is what we need to look at. God made us and HE wants us to do things to help Glorify HIM and us.
Our leaders need help not criticism. We can get them the help they need by prayer. Prayer is communicating with GOD. We should talk all things over with GOD in prayer before we do anything.
We need to be sure our heart is right before we do anything. The bible is the place to start when one is looking for answers. All our answers are in the book of instructions.
Our heart should be right before we condemn the other person. The King James Bible mentions the heart 765 times and a number of these times are in Proverbs.
You might say we cannot do anything here we are only a small group; I say we start some place and some time.
OK now I would like to suggest that everyone go to a prayer group and have a time of prayer. After all we have tried to do it ourselves and it did not work.
If you need help finding a group feel free to call me or e-mail me at
