Hello Trad Gang,
I'd like to remind those of you that are believers to pray for our nation. It seems every day I see more and more people as well as our government making decisions that ignore God's plan for our lives and His soveriegn rule.
Here is an example you might find interesting. Did you know there are FOUR verses to the Star Spangled Banner, not just one? I know I didn't until recently. Here is the forth verse, the "Grand Finale" and conclusion to the Star Spangled Banner.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Francis Scott Key, 1814
I choked up just typing that! :help:
Sadly, this verse has been all but eliminated from existence, just as most references to the Lord have been driven from our government and the average American's psyche.
Please remember to pray for our nation. I realize certainly not all Trad Gangers are from the U.S., but please feel free to pray for us too! :D
Thanks for your time, Tim
Thank you Tim.
Thank you Tim, Always in my prayers and thoughts. It is almost scary to think what my four year old daughter will be stripped of. We all need to stand up for what we honor and cherish. Ed

This country needs alot of prayers...I think it's going down quick. I pray for her return to Christian based ethics and beliefs, for safety and for our troops working to keep us safe.
