This  is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at   Roane County High School, Kingston, Tennessee, by school Principal, Jody   McLeod.

"It  has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games,   to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."

Due  to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer   is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time,  I  can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call  it "an  alternate lifestyle," and if someone is offended, that's OK.

I  can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling  it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.

I  can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn  baby as a "viable means of birth control." If someone is offended, no  problem...

I  can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities  to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it  "ecology."

I  can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that  depicts  people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple  minded" and  "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment."

However,  if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless  this  event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is   violated.

This  appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we  are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.

Nevertheless,  as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules  with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be  inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that  affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an  intentional transgression.

For  this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain  from praying at this time.

"However,  if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM,  in the  name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I  know, that's not against the law----yet."

One  by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one   another and began to pray.

They  prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the  concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box!

The  only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of  America - the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."

Somehow,  Kingston, Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the  Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS  remnant  remains!

JESUS  said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of   you before MY FATHER."

If  you are not ashamed, pass this on.
