Avoid the rush at the last judgement. Be converted now instead!


PRAYER FOR A NATION


When Pastor Joe Wright, of Central Christian Church, was asked
to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting
the usual politically correct generalities.
But what they heard instead was this:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness
and seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,
‘Woe on those who call evil good,’ but that’s exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.

We confess that:

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism;

We have, worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism;

We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery;

We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;

We have killed our unborn and called it choice;

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem;

We have abused power and called it political savvy;

We have coveted our neighbour’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-honoured values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, 0 God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have
been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state.

Grant them Your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the centre of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Googling for Hipcrime can be educational.

However, it is better for all of us if no-one replies. We've had this

of flood before, and if you ignore the children they do eventually go away

Thanks Sally and Uncle Marvo for your support - I shall wear it constantly!



I'm not going away and I have found out how to use "Ignore Conversation" and
"Block Sender" so I'm fully armed, now! I shall be much more particular
about which postings I reply to. I think I might just stick to asking
questions and giving answers, in future.



Unfortunately, I see humour in most things - especially people and what they
say.



I, honestly, thought that I was replying only to those in this group until I
had it pointed out to me that I wasn't! I, then, checked the list of
newsgroups against some of the names and realised what I had probably done.



Thanks again and my kindest regards,



John

Come on, John, please cut out the cross-posting. You've received gardening
help and advice here so please don't spoil this group for yourself and
everyone else. You will rapidly go into kill files if you continue.

Stamp your feet and threaten with your killfile all you like, but he can
crosspost where the **** he likes.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Silly campaigns against crossposting are a misguided waste of time.
Crossposting can only enrich a group. It cannot spoil a group.
Subscribers can easily choose not to read, or even see, crossposts.

Can you imagine sitting in a pub having a chat with your fellow
gardeners, when up pops one gent and says - don't talk to him!! He's
got other interests! This conversation is restricted to gardeners!

Crossposting is probably banned by David Cameroon's Conservatives, but
they are the lunatic fringe. What's more, Jesus commanded us to
crosspost.

Blessed are the crossposters for they shall inherit the Usenet.

They practice on crocus,
They practice on rocks,
Then ladies to teatime
And boys to their bocks

Where talk is of Euros
And Browns and of Blairs,
And thumbs that knew tulips
Leave those empty stares.

Mushy Peas?

This is uk.rec.gardening, not uk.rec.cooking.
