He and I See the Problem! Can You?

THIS IS AS  GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS  THIS AND PASSES IT ON. I FIND IT  INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE  THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY  CANNOT Tennessee  Football This  is a statement that was read over the PA sytem  at the 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 life style," 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  ReligionPraise 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  ... I'm not  one bit ashamed to pass this on, Are  you?
