IT'S TOO EARLY!

Just took the kids to school. Josie just called and wants me to fill out some info for her and take it to the dentist. She had a tooth crack and needs a bridge now. Going to cost me $1200 to fix her teeth. Oh joy... Guess that means the trip to Nebraska might not happen this summer. I'll write more later. But look at this:





House approves national day of prayer and fasting

(03-27) 11:12 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

The House passed a resolution Thursday calling for a national day of humility, prayer and fasting in a time of war and terrorism.

The resolution, passed 346-49, says Americans should use the day of prayer "to seek guidance from God to achieve a greater understanding of our own failings and to learn how we can do better in our everyday activities, and to gain resolve in meeting the challenges that confront our nation."

Under the resolution, President Bush would issue a proclamation designating a specific day as a day of "humility, prayer and fasting."

White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said officials there had not looked at the resolution but "the president believes that faith and prayer are important and frequently references the importance of praying for American troops and for freedom around the world."

A similar resolution approved on March 17 said it was the sense of the Senate that that day should be a national day of prayer and fasting.

During Wednesday's House debate, some lawmakers expressed concern about the measure.
Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, a presidential hopeful and an opponent of the war in Iraq, said the resolution "may be seen by some as an attempt to inject religion into this war at a time when some of America's enemies abroad are asserting that this indeed is a war about religion."

This is fucked up! Where is the separation of CHURCH AND STATE? There isn't one! This is dangerous.
