I received this in an email today and thought it was neat. I'm sharing it with you.

DID YOU KNOW ALL THIS? I SURELY DIDN'T.

As you walk up the steps to the building which
houses the U.S. Supreme Court, you can see near
the top of the building a row of the world's law
givers and each one is facing the one in the
middle, who is facing forward with a full
frontal view. It is Moses and he is holding the
Ten Commandments!

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 over 2 centuries in this country is now wrong and
unconstitutional?
 
Yes, I did know most of that, but only because I cheated. I have a degree in legal research and writing.
 
I did'nt know that. But I certainly appreciate it.

God bless America.......as the good song says. But more than the song, and more than the singer, we in the West I pray will return to the Saviour who prompted such ideas, ideals taken from Him who alone was able to say "my yoke is easy and my burden is light"

"All His ways are pleasantness and all His paths are peace"
