Did you know? As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
Did you know? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!
Did you know? There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.
Did you know? James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement:
"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."Did you know? Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."Did you know? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
Did you know? Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.
Did you know? Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law, an oligarchy- the rule of few over many.
Did you know? The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:
"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

whoa. . what happened? I guess each generation removed from those original founders became less and less convinced of these truths. . and they became successively more dim.
It doesn't suprise me in the least as the world is becoming bathed more and more in the evil one's darkness,just as our Lord foretold. But as we know and everyone shall find out, the Light of Truth will shine forth once more
and the darkness will be overcome.
One day it will once more be not merely "one nation under God" but "All nations under God"...Hallelujah and Amen!
i didn't know any of this things, that is cool. What happened, how did the enemy get his foothold into north america. Canada has psalm 89 on the parliment building in ottawa and canada has so much history of christ in it. Lord change the people's heart in goverment in north america and restore the rich history of you and return that the nation of Canada and America please. May we live up to the purpose of bring healing to the other nations. Amen.
No one can make a point like Andy Rooney. Love that guy!
are you seriosuly taking the advice of the people and blogging less frequently so that these people who are not in front of there computers all day can read each of your blogs? cuz i think i have gone to your page a billion times and this sam post is still here and nothing new yet! im waiting trying to patient for what new words will come from you next!!
Ah, well . . . I didn't really intend to have so much of a pause between blogs. It just ended up this way because of a busy week.
I have found that when I blog daily, I am faithful to the task. When I decide to do it "whenever," I rarely get to it!
I'll try to blog more often, but maybe not every day. What do you think of that?
Carman the Christian pop singer wrote a song highlighting some the very things you mentioned.
It is a very powerful song and talks of Christians taking back our country the way the founding fathers intended it to be.
I think the song was called America Again. I have the cd somewhere!!
