Hmm, A pastor preaching to the Senate??

This is what Minister Joe Wright said when asked to open up the new session of the Kansas Senate. Everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but they got something completely different.



Now I am not one for any religious propaganda whatsoever, but a lot of what is mentioned here is very truthful, and hits extremely close to home. What do you think?



This is what they heard....



"Heavenly Father,
We come before you today,
To ask your forgiveness and
to see you direction and guidance.



We know your word says
'woe to those who call evil good'
but that is exactly what we have done.
we have lost or spiritual equilibrium
and reversed our values.



We have exploited the poor and
called it the lottery.



We have rewarded laziness and
Called it welfare.



We have killed our unborn and
called it choice.



We have shot abortionists and
called it justifiable.



We have neglected to discipline
Our children and called it
Building self esteem.



We have abused power
And called it politics.



We have coveted our neighbor's
Possessions and called it ambition.



We have polluted the air
with profanity and
pornography and called it
Freedom of speech and expression.



We have ridiculed the time
Honored values of our
Forefathers and called it enlightenment.



Search us, Oh, God,
and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin
and set us free.



Amen!
