I've Been Tagged!!!!!

I have been tagged by my my pastors wife Sister Eisenhart to list 7 random things about myself here they are:

I am Jewish (Jews from Germany) on my Grandmothers side and Cherokee Indian on my Grandfathers.

I do not like spiders.

I work at a Daycare/Preschool.

I am not a coalcracker - I grew up in Southern Pennsylvania (and Maryland, Indiana, Northern Ohio, Southern Ohio, Arizona, Texas)

I love to be around people and am getting over my fear of big crowds.

I married my boyfriend from school - (My boyfriend in 8th grade then moved away came back and he was my boyfriend again in 10th grade, moved away again came back 10 years later and married him.)

God saved me again at the age of 30.

I went to 5 different schools in 3 different states in 4 years of high school.

I am going to tag Deanna Kennedy, Sarah Susan, Heather Dickinson.

****By the way I just realized that Sister Eisenhart and I cannot count because that was 8 not 7 random things.****

Pledge of Allegiance in Schools Today

I had the manager of a local bank email me the following.
I thought it was worthy of repeating. It is oh so TRUE!

New Pledge of Allegiance!
Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most
public schools anymore because the word "God" is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona wrote the following NEW School prayer.

Now I sit me down in school
  Where praying is against the rule 
  For this great nation under God 
  Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites, 
  It violates the Bill of Rights. 
  And anytime my head I bow 
  Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green, 
  That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. 
  The law is specific, the law is precise. 
  Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall 
  Might offend someone with no faith at all 
  In silence alone we must meditate, 
  God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, 
  And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. 
  They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. 
  To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, 
  And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King. 
  It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong, 
  We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls, 
  Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles. 
  But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, 
  No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess, 
  When chaos reigns the school's a mess. 
  So, Lord, this silent plea I make: 
  Should I be shot; My soul please take!

AMEN
  
Jesus said, 
"If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
