In God We Trust!

Illustration, The Government already has! By Scott Chambers

The Lord spoke to Noah and said, “Noah in six months I am going to make it rain until the whole world is covered with water and all the evil things are destroyed. But, I want to save a few good people and two of every living thing on the planet. So I want you to build an ark.”

Well, six months passed, the sky began to cloud up, and the rain began to fall in torrents. The Lord looked down and saw Noah sitting in his yard, weeping, and there was no ark.

"Noah!” shouted the Lord, “Where is My ark?” “Lord please forgive me!” begged Noah. “I did my best but there were some problems --- big problems. First, I had to get a building permit for the ark’s construction, but Your plans did not meet their building code. So, I had to hire an engineer to redo the plans, only to get into a long argument with him about whether to include a fire-sprinkler system.”

Then "My neighbors started complaining and objected, claiming that I was violating zoning ordinances by building the ark in my front yard, because it was killing the dandelions and going to block their view --- so I had to get a variance from the city planning board.

Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the ark, because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists and the Fish and Game Commission that I needed the wood to save the owls, but they wouldn’t let me catch them, so NO OWLS.”

“Next I started gathering up the animals but got sued by an animal rights group that objected to my taking along only two of each kind; they wanted me to save them all. Then the Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed flood plain. So I sent them a globe! The IRS has seized all my assets claiming that I am trying to leave the country, and I just got notice from the state that I owe some kind of usage tax. Really, I don’t think I can finish the ark in less than five years.”

With that, the sky cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled. “You mean You are not going to destroy the world?” he asked hopefully. “No,” said the Lord, “I am too late, the government already has.”

In God We Trust...

This weekend marks the 242nd time, Americans have celebrated our independence. Today we honor our birth and founding as a nation, withs God's amazing help, we declared that we were going to exert our independence from anarchy and rule.

After Hundreds of years of oppression, all those who had given their lives for the cause, were finally justified.

Just like the children of Israel were promised a land beyond prosperous, all the diligence and faith of our founding fathers, led us all to the freedom and reward, we still enjoy to this day!

We are still receiving an associated blessing, from long ago. And as long as we continue to worship and lift up God, generations to come, will continue to receive and prosper, just as we have!

You won't hear this on the news, or read what I'm telling you this morning in the news paper, or in our childrens classrooms or their textbooks any more, because the accuser has all but eradicated Americas historical Christian heritage! Because he more than anyone knows, about the uncontainable associated blessings that happen, when God is at the center of everything you do!

This nation was founded on the freedom of religion, in other words, the passion of a relationship and the pursuit thereof. And because of that relationship, God truly has blessed and continues to Bless America

Hebrews 11:1,2,3,6 The Voice

Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you’ve never seen. 2 It was by faith that our forebears were approved. 3 Through faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God; everything we now see was fashioned from that which is invisible 6 Without faith no one can please God because the one coming to God must believe He exists, and He rewards those who come seeking.

I can assure you won't hear this in our classrooms, but to arrive at the day America declared our independence....it took monumental faith, it took mountain moving faith, and God rewarded that faith, with our freedom as the most prosperous nation ever!

There is not a better example of how much power our words have that we speak, then the words in God We Trust and God Bless America,
