July 05 2008 Word

An article came out today in the Lexington Herald in the Faith and Values section stating Kentuckians are willing spirits. Report finds beliefs strong, Church attendance high. Camille Weber of the Lexington Herald stated in the report that " Kentuckians appeared more religious than Americans as a whole in most categories.
The survey covered belief in God, importance of religion in my life, how often i attend, how often I pray, etc.
This was very pleasing to me to hear this but alarmed me about the nation as a whole. The article also stated that other states such as West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas scored higher as well than America as a whole.
Does this tell our nation anything? Yes it does, it tells us that the rural areas still left are holding on to God and not allowing the world  to take their beliefs away. It should not matter if we live in the city or in the middle of nowhere, if our beliefs are strong, then we should stay with them and not allow the world to drown them out.
My prayer today is that we will all get back to our grass roots and seek God. Seek a life that will give you more joy and peace than you have ever had. God needs you. He has placed gifts inside of you that He has no one else. Use that gift for God and be blessed.
I continue to pray for everyone this Forth of July Weekend where many deaths normally take place. I pray for safety and joy this weekend.
