Governor Brownback's public prayer.
"When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get."

- Matthew 6:5

And it was the better hearts of many people that always helped me when in strife.

And I will be sent the beer and travel money that is due.

I watched a play of his when in school, it was awesome, and he has had so many great stories and movies. He is one of my favorite actors.

And I believe Jesus needs our help, not us spending our time asking for his.
Why?
Because there are people that are poor, in prisons, naked, hungry, and other hardships not only of that social context of that time


although there are some people out there helping them.

2. Yep, extremely relevant today with these creatures. "Let us now recall the quote
Edited on Sat Jun-11-11 03:03 PM by RKP5637
some attribute to Upton Sinclair about 75 years ago. "When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”"

I might update that just slightly for today, "When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross and quoting the bible.”"
