Our nation was built upon prayer, and divine intervention. If you read ANY history book, they will tell you that we should not have beaten England. The odds were against us. We had less of EVERYTHING. Yet we still beat England at their OWN game! God was constantly at work during the establishment of this nation.
"Well Brendon, how can you say that when there is seperation of church and state?"
Very easily, because what people don't quite understand, is that they are taking the "seperation of church and state" cliche out of context.
Think about it this way: Why did everyone move to the America's? Gold is a good answer. New life is a good answer. How about to escape religious persecution? They were being attacked by their former government, so in order to stop that from happening in the America's, they made the "seperation of church and state." They weren't seperating the church from the state, they were seperating the state from the church! They didn't want the church to be controled by the state! It should be obvious that our Founding Fathers wanted to have church involved in state affairs, just by looking at a coin! Or how about the Declaration of Independence?
I can't stand the ignorance of people who want to push God out of the picture! For what reason? To make a statement. Talk about religious persecution....
So whether or not you agree with the church, it is the right, given to us by the state AND by God, to worship and praise him. Don't hound on those who do it. Don't hound on those who do.

Why isn't the National Day of Prayer supported more at our school? One announcement I think. No posters. Did anyone even show up this year? I am so disappointed. Yet, I didn't make a big effort myself. I didn't attend this morning. My first ever to miss it. I'm a bit worried with the apathy that is setting in here at school. What do you think?
