After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state
constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and
the out-of-control federal courts are wrong!
If you found this to be 'Food for Thought' send to as many as you
think will be enlightened as I hope you were.
Please note that at no time is anyone told that they MUST worship God.
Let us bring God back into America!
May GOD continue to BLESS AMERICA !
IN GOD WE HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED !!!!!
