An awful lot of discussion is heard lately about how the United States is a nation founded on the principals of Christianity . There are some who would even push it further and say that our founding fathers didn’t mean it when they laid out the rules of separation of Church and State. These people want the United states to be deemed a Christian nation . I’m not sure we can change peoples minds after they’ve been dead for over 200 years but we can all use some ” Christian Principals ”
Experience has taught us something , at least the wife and I any way . It’s taught us to not be the ones . Another hurricane is coming our way and at the first hint that we were in it’s projected path we took our usual steps and made sure we were ready . That means we weren’t the ones to find no bottled water or toilet paper for sale at Walmart. We weren’t the ones to wait in long lines for gasoline to run a generator . We weren’t the one’s
We made sure that generator was operational and the window covers were at hand and ready to be hung if needed. All of this is done with out panic but anyone who isn’t nervous during those days leading up to a hurricane just hasn’t been through a catastrophic storm before . It’s that period just before the storm when everyone unites in faith of some kind
…. that’s the time when our true Christian principals come to the fore and every man woman and child for miles around prays silently to Jesus Christ, or someone like him . I personally don’t care if those doing the praying are praying to Jesus , Allah or Buddha as we’re all asking the same thing as the faithful . To grant our wish that we not be the one …..
and send the storm further north to slam into some other poor son of a bitch instead of us .
Amen
