"New Pledge of Allegiance"

 

 

Since the Pledge of Allegiance
and
The Lord's Prayer
are not allowed in most
public schools anymore

 

Because the word

 

"God"

 

is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona
wrote the attached

 

NEW School prayer.
I liked it.
              
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

 

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

 

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

 

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

 

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

 

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

 

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

 

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

"Aprons"

 

 

 

The principle use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress
underneath, but along with that, it served as a holder for removing
hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was
even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

 

From the chicken-coop the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy
chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in  the
warming oven.
When company came those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids.

 

And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her
arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over
the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the
kitchen in that apron.

 

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the
peas had been shelled it carried out the hulls. In the fall the
apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.

 

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how
much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When
dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her
apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.

 

It will be a long time before someone invents something that will
replace that "old-time apron" that served so many purposes. Send
this to those who would know, and love the story about Grandma's aprons.

 

REMEMBER THIS! "Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the
window sill to cool. Her granddaughter's set theirs on the window  sill to thaw".

Don't tell God how Big your storm is.
