Appropriate Words to Wake Up To

I have my clock radio set to wake me up every morning, and I never know

what the first thing I hear will be.   Well, today when the radio came on, the

"Get on up!"

So I started the day with a good laugh.

This time next year, where will our country be?

Or perhaps I should ask,  "WHAT will our country be?"

Will she be a land where people can obey the dictates of

their religion and their conscience?

Or will she be a land where we must obey the dictates of

those in office?

The Fortnight for Freedom has ended, but we must keep

praying that this time next year, America will still be America.

Andy Griffith, RIP.

In memory of Andy Griffith, I am sharing my all-time
