A state bill coming out of the Indiana House of Representatives is giving new life to the decades old debate over prayer in school. The bipartisan bill known as HB-1024 states that students may pray or engage in religious activities before, during and after the school day without discrimination. It also says students are permitted to wear religious apparel and jewelry as long as it is in accordance with the school dress policy. Critics of the bill say it’s nothing more than political
grandstanding as there was already a law on the books permitting “silent prayer” in schools. So was this really necessary? Indiana state Rep. Lloyd Arnold says absolutely. “It’s going back to the clarification. Kids can pray. It can be silent prayer, but we give them the true freedom with this bill, “Arnold explained to CBN News. “They’re not forcing it upon anybody. The kids can pray out loud. They can pray at lunch,” he continued. READ MORE
Below is a pssage from Proverbs 22. I, as I have said want no glory, no honor, no spot light. I do not know if a long time ago words as “lord”, “king”, or other words were given to just a certain one for a speical reason..long before the that “son” took a beating and died for sins. I just see how STARTING WITH MY FATHER AND MOTHER so much has spun out of control. And for reasons known to MY FATHER AND MOTHER and maybe that son was included, I DO NOT KNOW. I just know what I have been shown and I have been tested in many ways. I may have the greatest of all if dissapointing or disobeying MY FATHER FIRST THEN MY MOTHER..I SAY THAT AS I KNOW WHO COMES FIRST ALWAYS. AND I, in my heart do see so much pain starting from MY FATHER AND MOTHER, to that son and it explodes to the world and beyond. I know it is MY FATHER WHO IS “SLOW TO ANGER AND LONG SUFFERING”, and I SEE WHY. My FATHER has given words and I shared they with all of you who read this as others. I know HE LOVES EVERYONE AS DOES MY MOTHER..and that “son or sons”. I do also. When I read the passage be low it speaks about A GOOD NAME..that is diluted to me as MY FATHER IS ABOVE ALL NAMES, THE VERY BEST, NO ONE COMPARES TO HIM AND I BELIEVE HE FEELS THAT ABOUT HIS WIFE, MY MOTHER. And that name IS as a child I CALL HIM MY FATHER AND HER MY MOTHER. What child calls their parents by a name other than that..me..HE IS MY DADDY AND SHE MY MOMMA..that is to me what a “babygirl” calls the ones who love them the best. I asked HIM..to be able to be the only one to do so. Is that selfish of me??? I just LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND that is how personal my relationship with them is..and nothing comes between that. SO A “GOOD” name is not sufficent for them that gave me life. And I pray you understand this. I know THEY UNDERSTAND THIS. AND I BELIEVE IT FILLS THEIR HEARTS TO BE JUST AS I SEE THEM..FOR TRULY THEY ARE JUST THAT. This passage also speaks of counsels and knowlegde as does many passages in the WORD OF GOD. I believe that MY DESIRE FOR NONE TO PERISH AND FOR ALL TO REPENT AND BE GIVEN ETERNAL IS JUST THAT. I BELIEVE AND KNOW WITH NO DOUBT HE CAN DO ALL THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE OR ALL COMIBINED. I have always said for as long as I can remember “while everyone is making there plans GOD HAS HIS”! And so I see that is far bigger than so many every imagined. But somehow and believe me I can not explain it except to say..I JUST HAVE KNOWN deep down..and is MY FATHER THAT HAS DONE IT, HE DID IT. He has shown me so much and I have shared with you all. I only know to be THEIR CHILD..and would not call myself any other name as so many love titles. HE IS MY FATHER AND SHE MY MOTHER..IT IS THEIR HOUSE..I LIVE IN THEIR HOUSE AND THEY HAVE THEIR WAY OF HOW THEIR HOUSE SHOULD be. I WILL NOT ARGUE OR COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT “COMMANDS AND THINGS HATED AND LOVED BY THEM ARE”! It to me IS AS simple instructions from MY PARENTS TO ME. I have been to me kinda “put in a room barricaded by them, a bunch of blood thristy, fighting, brats playing king or queen of the castle, swords drawn, guns pulled, cowboys and indians, mofia, serial killers, rapeist, and many running to the ICD9 store buying every ugly thing available”! I hear MY FATHER KNOCKING saying let me in while crying AND MY MOTHER also crys and knocks. I yell back and say “they won’t stop fighting and killing”, telling them that I have told them again and agin they are going to be in big trouble…saying some have listened and stopped..but many more continue. This is how it feels to me. NOW who all those are in this room..well there is to many I have have no idea what the hearts are of any just know I am not wanting a part of any of it as it hurts to much to see it let alone imagine being the one doing it. That is not me. I do not discriminate, by any ones definitions. I have done my very best to let all know that they get a chance to clean up the mess with in each one as I see many have had the door shut to long. I have sought out every tribe, nation, kingdom, the poor and rich..the ones forgotten, abused, all falsely accused that there is..knowing I have no clue who they are but they do..as DOES MY FATHER. I belive the “ancient” stone spoke of in this passage is MY FATHER AND MOTHER’s foundation of what they want. AND IT IS MY FATHER WHO WILL ALWAYS BE…HE IS THE “SUSTAINER OF LIFE..AVITAL”. So please know I have never attacked anyone, it may seem as that but just trying to get all to see what is so easy for me..well for me the hardest thing I have done..but yet there are some who seen it before I knew I was doing it. So please remember this is NOT a religion. IT IS MY FATHER AND MOTHER’S HOUSE. AND I TRULY WANT YOU ALL TO STOP BARRICADING THE DOOR, clean up as much as you can and MY FATHER..AND MY MOTHER WILL BE THERE LOVING YOU ALL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I do not know if there is much more to share that needs to be told by me. This IS FOR MY FATHER GLORY AND THEIR HONOR..MY FATHER AND MOTHER. All all those fighting in this room..playing the games which are not as “games”, as they cause great pain…it is VIOLENCE on so many levels, and defiance as well as many victums who have died, been misled and been forgotten by so many. And AFAIN IT IS MY FATHER AND MOTHER who have been killed, forgotten, replaced, done away with by many..and some did so unknowingly by mistake. I pray this helps and all that has been wrote will help you all to see HOW THERE ARE JUST NO WORDS FOR ME TO DESCRIBE HOW MAJESTIC MY FATHER IS AND HIS LOVE FOR HIS WIFE AND children everywhere. And when I read below and see the words used..It does seem that MY FATHER IS IN THEM BUT ALSO can be looked at as those who have called themselves “lords and kings” have used what they have been given to be as it says a “lord or king” is, as the word “maker”. So from this was or is it speaking at times about the one who “room” it was to begin with? To deep for me and this IS WHY I stopped using all names and go back to the word “children”, AS THAT IS WHAT MY FATHER AND MOTHER want..OBEDIENT CHILDREN. So please go back to the basis of WHAT LOVE IS, THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, MY FATHER AND MOTHER’S COMMANDS, know what is LOVED AND HATED..the deeds or behaviors..NOT THE SOUL. SEEK FORGIVENESS AS WELL AS GIVE FORGIVENESS..stop sinning..and fill your heart with ALL THAT IS LISTED WHICH TRANSLATES TO “LOVE NEVER FAILS”! I pray all are so blessed…and I KNOW IF YOU DO THE ABOVE YOU WILL BE. And for all that may think that what that “son” did has no meaning to me..IT DOES…AND IT IS MUCH MORE then I can put into words as it so many things. I try..but they LOVE I HAVE SHOULD SAY IT ALL…and though I maybe little MY HEART AND LOVE IS AS BIG AS MY FATHER AND MOTHER…and I LOVE AS THEY DO..I HAVE THE BEST PARENTS, teachers, all the things one could think of as best is FROM THEM..that is how I SEE MY FATHER AND MOTHER..AND MY FATHER IS FRIST. HE TRULY GETS ALL GLORY and HONOR TO HIM AND MOTHER WITH LOVE OFF THE CHARTS AND plenty of LOVE FOR ALL.
◄ Proverbs 22 ►
New International Version
1A good name is more desirable than great riches;to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
2Rich and poor have this in common:The Lord is the Maker of them all.
3The prudent see danger and take refuge,but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
4Humility is the fear of the Lord;its wages are riches and honor and life.
5In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
6Start children off on the way they should go,and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
7The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
8Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity,and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.
9The generous will themselves be blessed,for they share their food with the poor.
10Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;quarrels and insults are ended.
11One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.
12The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”
14The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit; a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
16One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
