Pastor Has Guts

                        It seems prayer still upsets some people. Please  
              Read....

                        When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new
                Session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the
usual                 Generalities, but this is what they heard:


 
                        '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 speech and 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!'
