A Letter From Paul Harvey

Here I sit reading our local rag. Our little newspaper full of good stuff and hometown brag. Anyway a story caught my eye. A story by Paul Harvey in his quest to find the answer why. He speaks of different religions in our land. But the majority is Christianity, and the point he makes, makes you understand. He said get your phone book out and let it prove my point I try to make. Christian churches outnumber all other by 200 to 1 for goodness sake. He said a thirty second prayer before a football game isn’t asking that much. We’re not praying to change the world, just let our boys be safe and have a safe trip home and such and such. Just humor our wish is all we ask. Surely your god will look the other way while we perform this simple task. We’re not out to convert no one or asking that you even share. And the atheist’s can even take a toilet break while we say our prayer. But speaking as the majority why is it that we have to ask? No one is asking to come home with you just let us perform this one simple task. If I were in Bagdad at a soccer game, I’m sure they would say a Muslim prayer. Which I would understand and that would be okay, I don’t think I ‘d care. Or someone praying to Buddha in China at a ping pong match. It wouldn’t upset me or cause an itch, you know one that you cannot scratch.. Paul goes on to say we have been silent for much too long. We live in a country where majority rules so let that be the name of this song. In closing he says God bless us all especially those that denounce Him. God bless our service men and women, God please bless them. This is the year the silent majority needs to be heard. And bring our troops home was his final word. Well I for one agree with Paul. He puts his job and reputation on the line to stand for one and all. He’s a man of honor and conviction. He loves this country and to him with God there should be no restriction. Thank you Paul Harvey . And that’s the way it was!!!!!!
