The Perfect Church

Have we held the line? Should those who have died rest easy because we are holding to the values that they were willing to give their lives for?
Consider this timeline;
"in 1954 churches began to grow silent;
by 1963 the Bible and prayer were removed from public schools;

LAST WORDS
My father worked for the railroad when I was younger. One night a train was backing up to hook up to some other cars and one man was not watching. He was in the way and the train made the connection right through his body.
He did not die immediately, but he knew he had only a short
