Via JMG: Pat Boone Has The Sadz
"For over 200 years, we were the most successful, admired and envied nation in world history. Unashamedly, we declared ourselves to be a Christian nation, granting security and protection to all faiths, creeds and ethnicities. Our laws demanded obedience to the laws of God – because they had proven to be the best ever conceived for creating and maintaining a healthy, productive and fair society. Friend, our people have rejected the very same God and His way, and clamored after a king who has promised to provide, protect and lead them into a Promised Land where 'everybody has everything.' So that same God must take His hand off those who have rejected Him and allow them to reap the consequences." - Pat Boone, writing for World Net Daily.

The Reverence of Attention
You
come to learn, you’re asking to be taught, and what you give is your
attention. That can include asking skeptical questions, intellectual
questions, any kind of questions. Devotion and reverence don’t
necessarily depend on bows and accolades.
