[Faith-talk] 5/6/16 Wisdom Gems and Pearls, and Some News Tidbits

[Ericka]

Thank you for your quotes and I am well aware Paul that there are too many idiots in my city of Madison Wisconsin. I am embarrassed that freedom from religion started here in fact. Annie Gaylore, the founding person, drove my dad nuts when she tried to get the 10 Commandments taken out of a local park in Monroe Wisconsin, just an hour south of Madison. My dad was parked Board President then. Sure they're out of there, but they city just put the stone tablets (it had been a monument) in the YWCA gymnasium where more people see it! 

Good things happen in the world still, it just doesn't get posted anywhere usually. Keep the faith!

At the same event Shirley Dobson, wife of Christian broadcaster Dr. James Dobson, announced that she was stepping down as overall chairman of the National Day of Prayer which she has been heading for the past 25 years.  In her place Anne Graham Lotz, Billy Graham's eldest daughter, has accepted that chairmanship.

He has 22 state capital cities to visit, and I hope that, when he comes to Maryland, that if the Lord wills I can go to my state capital city of Annapolis to hear him.  Our statehouse is the oldest continuous state capitol building, having been constructed in 1772.
> 
> Madison WI--The vice-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation in this city is suing the U.S. House of Representatives for refusing to allow him to deliver a secular prayer before this legislative body, saying that it violated his constitutional rights to do so.  Well, I've read this founding document forward and backward, and I see nowhere where it violated his constitutional rights.  Same with taking prayer and Bible reading out of public schools.

A baby girl, Alicia Watkins by name, born on March 29 of this year, was found by police after they got a call about a sick girl with burns over 80% of her little body.  Criminal charges are going to be filed against the parents.  The little lass was taken to a hospital where she died.  I don't know what it will take to wake up our citizens and city council members, but if I were on that legislative body I would say in a loud and clear voice:  "Enough is enough!"

Until tomorrow when, Lord willing more quotes will be posted, I am your obedient servant of the One who lived an earthly existence, died to pay for your sins and mine, and now lives forever to bring us His salvation and peace, Oil of Gladness.
