NO GOD IN SCHOOL


Before you watch the video below, give some thought to the poem written by Darrell Scott whose daughter - Rachel Scott (see photo) was slaughtered at the Columbine High School massacre on April 20th, 1999. These words reflect once again what most politicians can't comprehend, it's the need for God to be put back into our schools.


Here's Mr Scott's poem:



Your laws ignore our deepest needs,


Your words are empty air..


You've stripped away our heritage,


You've outlawed simple prayer.


Now gunshots fill our classrooms,


And precious children die.


You seek for answers everywhere,


And ask the question "Why?"


You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed.


And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need!

I truly believe in this video. I wish it could be plastered all over the media several times a day a in the white house and all the decision making rooms every day, until a "light bulb" goes off and "blows their mind away" , because the simple truth is the simple answer. WE NEED JEHOVAH GOD BACK IN OUR LIVES, SCHOOLS, WORK AREAS, LEISURE TIME. I stand with you John whole heartedly, You are a great speaker and you just spoke a message that I always wanted to say but didn't know how. God Bless you. God Jehovah forgive us all for removing you from our lives...
