Would you vote for a law where a 20 week fetus is given an anesthetic and then "humanely" aborted? The Montana legislature passed such a bill and is waiting on the governor's signature. This bill is "unjust" and displeases the Lord who will hold accountable a nation who despises His ways.

"Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.      

The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice." Isaiah 59:14-15

"Death is just another path, one that we all must take," the wizard Gandalf says in J.R.R. Tolkien's Return of the King. He is right - sooner or later, everyone faces death - but the path leading there can look very different depending on one's circumstances at the end of life.

"Fasting and prayer are religious exercises; the enjoining them an act of discipline. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the time for these exercises, and the objects proper for them, according to their own particular tenets; and right can never be safer than in their hands, where the Constitution has deposited it." - Thomas Jefferson, 1808

On May 7, Americans of many faith traditions will devote themselves to prayer for our nation and its leadership in observance of the 64th annual National Day of Prayer. Established as an annual event by an act of Congress in 1952 and designated as the first Thursday in May in 1988, the National Day of Prayer (NDP) is an opportunity for Americans to pray together for the United States of America and those who lead the country - whether elected or appointed, civilian or military, religious or nonreligious. Prayer gatherings will range from a National Observance on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to statewide events, to local observances in churches, community centers, government offices, and homes across the country.
