a blessed time — jesusfreak72.blogspot.com — Readability: "Brothers & Sisters, Take a second to think of how great our God is and how truly blessed we are to be found in Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. There is no greater joy that can be recognized in this or the next life, than knowing and accepting Jesus as one's Lord and Savior of sin, condemnation, and eternal suffering and damnation. Last Saturday, we welcomed a new brother, Stephen, to the family of Christ after recognizing the joy and grace he was missing out upon without the blood of Christ."

(Where else but San Francisco – where The Boy Scouts are all but outlawed, and "his" and "hers" school restrooms are being eliminated because they offend (or confuse) two percent of the school population.) Now, recently, in Massachusetts, a family has challenged the pledge of allegiance and are demanding the two words “under God” be removed, because they claim those two words “violate students’ rights."
