This is for those who think that the happenings mean that God has forgotten
His children in America. I assure you, He is still here.
Sing for joy, O heavens! Rejoice, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains!
For the LORD has comforted his people and will have compassion on them in their sorrow.
Yet Jerusalem says,"The LORD has deserted us; the LORD has forgotten us."
"Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for a child
she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!
See, I have written your name on my hand. Ever before me is a picture
of Jerusalem's walls in ruins.
Okay people, here's a little summat that I've been told is goin' 'round the Net,
but I make it my job to let everyone who crosses my path know exactly what this Uni
stands for and believes in. And, to anyone in public school who reads this, get the book
Mind Siege, or contact a guy named Kent Hovind. He'll tell ya what's what on the evolution
theory, namely that it's totally bogus. I've always wanted to use that word! Anyway,
here ya go folks.
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 or orange or green
That's no offense, it's the 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 control
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.
^That's from the book Mind Siege.

How long, O LORD, until
you restore me?
Return, O LORD, and rescue me.
Save me because of your
unfailing love.
For in death, who remembers
you?
Who can praise you from
the grave?
I am worn out from sobbing.
Every night tears drench my bed;
my pillow is wet from weeping.
My vision is blurred by grief;
my eyes are worn out because of all my

May all my enemies by disgraced and terrified.

"We have devised the perfect plan!"

I can't find a foothold to stand on.
I am in deep water,
and the floods overwhelm me.
Psalm 69: 1-2
O God, you know how foolish I am;
my sins cannot be hidden from you.
Don't let those who trust in you stumble because of me,
don't let me cause them to be humiliated,
O God of Israel.
For I am mocked and shamed for you sake;
humiliation is written all over my face.
Even my own brothers pretend they don't know me;
they treat me like a stranger.
Psalm 69: 5-8
You know the insults I endure--
the humiliation and disgrace.
You have seen all my enemies and know what they have said.

if only one would turn and comfort me.
But instead, they give me poison for food;
they offer me sour wine to satisfy my thirst.

You will keep guiding me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
Psalm 73: 21-25

"Now I will relieve your shoulder of its burden;
I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.

Sentence the proud to the penalties they deserve.
How long, O LORD?
How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
Hear their arrogance!
How these evildoers boast!
They oppress your people, LORD,
hurting those you love.
They kill widows and foreigners
and murder orphans.
"The LORD isn't looking," they say,
"and besides, the God of Israel doesn't care."
Think again, you fools!
When will you finally catch on?
Is the one who made your ears deaf?
Is the one who formed your eyes blind?
He punishes the nations--won't he also punish you?
He knows everything--doesn't he also know what you're doing?
The LORD knows people's thoughts,
that they are worthless!
Psalm 94: 2-11
Who will protect me from the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Unless the LORD had helped me,
I would soon have died.
I cried out," I am slipping!"
and your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me.
When doubts fill my mind,
your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
Psalm 94: 16-19
Please don't give up on me!

that I might not sin against you.

LORD, if you kept a record of our sins,
who, O Lord, could ever survive?

I have put my hope in his word.
I long for the Lord
more than sentries long for dawn,
yes, more than sentries long for dawn.
Psalm 130: 3-6

and the fangs of the wicked are broken.

Job 5: 19
And do not let your people practice fortune-telling or sorcery,

or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead.
Anyone who does these things is an object of horror and disgust to the LORD.
Deuteronomy 18: 10-12
They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that
could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that.

You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
2 Timothy 3: 14
You're the best Mrs. Hornbuckle!!!!!!!!
How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen!
"Violence!" I cry, but you do not come to save.
Must I forever see this sin and misery all around me?
Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence.
I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight.
The law has become paralyzed and useless, and there is no justice given in the
courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, and justice is perverted by bribes
and trickery.
Habakkuk 1: 2-4
Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does.
For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,
who lives in you and was given to you by God?
You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price.
So you must honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6: 18-20
Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows-- it's better to stay unmarried,
just as I am. But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry.
It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
1 Cornithians 7: 8-9
Now, about the young women who are not yet married.
I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his kindness
has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you.
Because of the present crisis, I think it's best to remain just as you are.
1 Corinthians 7: 25-26
According to some people, there are many so-called gods and many lords,

And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.

adopted into his family--calling him "Father, dear Father."

God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.
So if God has given you the ability to prophesy,
speak out when you have faith that God is speaking through you.
If you gift is that of serving others, serve them well.
If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching.
If your gift is to encourage others, do it!
If you have money, share it generously.
If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibilty seriously.
And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Romans 12: 6-8
If people persecute you because you are Christian, don't curse them;
pray that God will bless them.
When others are happy, be happy with them.
If they are sad, share their sorrow.
Live in harmony with each other.
Don't try to act important, but enjoy the company of ordinary people.
And don't think you know it all!
Romans 12: 14-16
If you think you are standing strong, be careful, for you, too,
may fall into the same sin.
But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different
than what others experience. And God is faithful.
He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong you can't stand up against it.
When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give into it.
1 Corinthians 10: 12-13
And isn't it obvious that long hair is a woman's pride and joy?
1 Corinthians 11: 14-15
Don't be afriad of those who want to kill you.
They can only kill your body; they cannot touch you soul.
Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without
your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
So don't be afriad; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.
If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth,
I will openly acknowledge that person before my Father in Heaven.
But if anyone denies me here on earth,
I will deny that person before my Father in Heaven.

children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and
will have eternal life.
Matthew 19: 29
"Two men went to the Temple to pray.
One was a Pharisee, and the other was a dishonest tax collector.
The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer,'I thank you, God,
that I am not a sinner like everyone else,
especially like that tax collector over there!
For I never cheat, I don't sin, I don't commit adultry.
I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.'
But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven
as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying,'O God, be merciful to me,
for I am a sinner.'
I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned
home justified before God.
For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored."
Luke 18: 10-14
How hard it is for rich people to get into the Kingdom of God!
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!

One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed,"So you're the Messiah, are you?
Prove it by saving yourself--and us too, while you're at it!"
But the other criminal protested,"Don't you fear God even when you're dying?
We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this man hasn't done anything wrong."
Then he said,"Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
And Jesus replied,"I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise."
Luke 23: 39-43
In the last days, God said,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
upon all my servants, men and women alike,
and they will prophesy.
And I will cause wonders in the Heavens above and signs on the earth below--
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
The sun will be turned into darkness,
and the moon will turn bloodred,
before the great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
And anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Acts 2: 17-21
I have done the Lord's work humbly--yes, and with tears.
I have endured the trials that came to me from the plots of the Jews.

I have had one message for Jews and Gentiles alike--
the necessity of turning from sin and turning to God, and of faith
in our Lord Jesus.

Proverbs 30: 7-9
O Lord, do not rebuke me in
your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
Have compassion on me,
LORD, for I am weak.
Heal me, LORD, for my
body is in agony.
I am sick at heart.
How long, O LORD, until
you restore me?
Return, O LORD, and rescue me.
Save me because of your
unfailing love.
For in death, who remembers
you?
Who can praise you from
the grave?
I am worn out from sobbing.
Every night tears drench my bed;
my pillow is wet from weeping.
My vision is blurred by grief;
my eyes are worn out because of all my
enemies.
Go away, all you who do evil,
for the LORD has heard my crying.
The LORD has heard my plea;
the LORD will answer my prayer.
May all my enemies by disgraced and terrified.
May they suddenly turn back in shame.
Psalm 6: 1-10

saving those whose hearts are true and right.

Lord, have mercy on me.

hate me.
Snatch me back from the jaws of death.
Save me, so I can praise you publicly at
Jerusalem's gates.
so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.
Psalm 9: 13-14
Arise, O LORD!
Do not let mere mortals defy you!
Let the nations be judged in your presence!
Make them tremble in fear, O LORD.
Let them know they are merely human.
Psalm 9: 19-20
The helpless are overwhelmed and collapse;
they fall beneath the strength of the wicked.
Psalm 10: 10
Arise, O LORD!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not forget the helpless!
Why do the wicked get away with cursing God?
How can they think,"God will never call us to account"?
But you do see the trouble and grief they cause.
You take note of it and punish them.
The helpless put their trust in you.
You are the defender of orphans.
Psalm 10: 12-14
The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked.
He hates everyone who loves violence.

on the entire human race;
he looks to see if there is even one with real
understanding,
one who seeks for God.
Psalm 14: 2
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
Psalm 17: 8
The ropes of death surrounded me;
the floods of destruction swept over me.
The grave wrapped its ropes around me;
death itself stared me in the face.
But in my distress I cried out to the LORD;
yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
my cry reached his ears.
Psalm 18: 4-6
The LORD is my light and my salvation--
so why should I be afraid?
The LORD protects me from danger--
so why should I tremble?

Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God."
Psalm 53: 1
My heart is in anguish.
The terror of death overpowers me.
Fear and trembling overwhelm me.
I can't stop shaking.
Oh, how I wish I had wings like a dove;
then I would fly far away and rest!
I would fly far away
to the quiet of the wilderness.
How quickly I would escape--
far away from this wild storm of hatred.
Psalm 55: 4-8
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
Psalm 56: 4
You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
Psalm 56: 8
Protect me from the plots of the wicked,
from the scheming of those who do evil.
Sharp tongues are the swords they wield;
bitter words are the arrows they aim.
They shoot from ambush at the innocent,
attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
They encourage each other to do evil
and plan how to set their traps.
"Who will ever notice?" They ask.
As they plot their crimes, they say,
"We have devised the perfect plan!"
Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.
Psalm 64: 2-6
If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,
my Lord would not have listened.
But God did listen!
He paid attention to my prayer.

Father to the fatherless
(I messed up with this one, I forgot what part of the Bible I got it from ^_^;;)

for the floodwaters are up to my neck.
Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire;
I can't find a foothold to stand on.
I am in deep water,
and the floods overwhelm me.
Psalm 69: 1-2
O God, you know how foolish I am;
my sins cannot be hidden from you.
Don't let those who trust in you stumble because of me,
don't let me cause them to be humiliated,
O God of Israel.
For I am mocked and shamed for you sake;
humiliation is written all over my face.
Even my own brothers pretend they don't know me;
they treat me like a stranger.
Psalm 69: 5-8
You know the insults I endure--
the humiliation and disgrace.
You have seen all my enemies and know what they have said.
Their insults have broken my heart,
and I am in despair.
If only one person would show some pity;
if only one would turn and comfort me.
But instead, they give me poison for food;
they offer me sour wine to satisfy my thirst.

All I get is trouble all day long;
every morning brings me pain.

how pained I had been by all I had seen.

you are holding my right hand.
You will keep guiding me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
Psalm 73: 21-25

"Now I will relieve your shoulder of its burden;
I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.
You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you;
I answered out of a thundercloud."
Psalm 81: 6-7
Sentence the proud to the penalties they deserve.
How long, O LORD?
How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
Hear their arrogance!
How these evildoers boast!
They oppress your people, LORD,
hurting those you love.
They kill widows and foreigners
and murder orphans.
"The LORD isn't looking," they say,
"and besides, the God of Israel doesn't care."
Think again, you fools!
When will you finally catch on?
Is the one who made your ears deaf?
Is the one who formed your eyes blind?
He punishes the nations--won't he also punish you?
He knows everything--doesn't he also know what you're doing?
The LORD knows people's thoughts,
that they are worthless!
Psalm 94: 2-11
Who will protect me from the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Unless the LORD had helped me,
I would soon have died.
I cried out," I am slipping!"
and your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me.
When doubts fill my mind,
your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
Psalm 94: 16-19
Please don't give up on me!

By obeying your word and following its rules.

I have hidden your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.

LORD, if you kept a record of our sins,
who, O Lord, could ever survive?

yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word.
I long for the Lord
more than sentries long for dawn,
yes, more than sentries long for dawn.

And so at last the poor have hope,
and the fangs of the wicked are broken.

Job 5: 19
And do not let your people practice fortune-telling or sorcery,
or allow them to interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells,
or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead.
Anyone who does these things is an object of horror and disgust to the LORD.
Deuteronomy 18: 10-12
They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that
could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that.
2 Timothy 3: 5
But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught.
You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
2 Timothy 3: 14
You're the best Mrs. Hornbuckle!!!!!!!!
How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen!
"Violence!" I cry, but you do not come to save.
Must I forever see this sin and misery all around me?
Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence.
I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight.
The law has become paralyzed and useless, and there is no justice given in the
courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, and justice is perverted by bribes
and trickery.
Habakkuk 1: 2-4
Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does.
For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,
who lives in you and was given to you by God?
You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price.
So you must honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6: 18-20
Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows-- it's better to stay unmarried,
just as I am. But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry.
It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
1 Cornithians 7: 8-9
Now, about the young women who are not yet married.
I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his kindness
has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you.
Because of the present crisis, I think it's best to remain just as you are.
1 Corinthians 7: 25-26
According to some people, there are many so-called gods and many lords,
both in heaven and on earth. But we know there is only one God,
the Father, who created everything, and we exist for him.
And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.
1 Corinthians 8: 5-6
So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves.
You should behave instead like God's very own children,
adopted into his family--calling him "Father, dear Father."
Romans 8: 15
God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.
So if God has given you the ability to prophesy,
speak out when you have faith that God is speaking through you.
If you gift is that of serving others, serve them well.
If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching.
If your gift is to encourage others, do it!
If you have money, share it generously.
If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibilty seriously.
And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Romans 12: 6-8
If people persecute you because you are Christian, don't curse them;
pray that God will bless them.
When others are happy, be happy with them.
If they are sad, share their sorrow.
Live in harmony with each other.
Don't try to act important, but enjoy the company of ordinary people.
And don't think you know it all!
Romans 12: 14-16
If you think you are standing strong, be careful, for you, too,
may fall into the same sin.
But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different
than what others experience. And God is faithful.
He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong you can't stand up against it.
When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give into it.
1 Corinthians 10: 12-13
And isn't it obvious that long hair is a woman's pride and joy?
1 Corinthians 11: 14-15
Don't be afriad of those who want to kill you.
They can only kill your body; they cannot touch you soul.
Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without
your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
So don't be afriad; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.
If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth,
I will openly acknowledge that person before my Father in Heaven.
But if anyone denies me here on earth,
I will deny that person before my Father in Heaven.

children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and
will have eternal life.
Matthew 19: 29
"Two men went to the Temple to pray.
One was a Pharisee, and the other was a dishonest tax collector.
The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer,'I thank you, God,
that I am not a sinner like everyone else,
especially like that tax collector over there!
For I never cheat, I don't sin, I don't commit adultry.
I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.'
But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven
as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying,'O God, be merciful to me,
for I am a sinner.'
I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned
home justified before God.
For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored."
Luke 18: 10-14
How hard it is for rich people to get into the Kingdom of God!
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!
Luke 18: 24-25
One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed,"So you're the Messiah, are you?
Prove it by saving yourself--and us too, while you're at it!"
But the other criminal protested,"Don't you fear God even when you're dying?
We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this man hasn't done anything wrong."
Then he said,"Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
And Jesus replied,"I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise."
Luke 23: 39-43
In the last days, God said,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
upon all my servants, men and women alike,
and they will prophesy.
And I will cause wonders in the Heavens above and signs on the earth below--
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
The sun will be turned into darkness,
and the moon will turn bloodred,
before the great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
And anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Acts 2: 17-21
I have done the Lord's work humbly--yes, and with tears.
I have endured the trials that came to me from the plots of the Jews.

I have had one message for Jews and Gentiles alike--
the necessity of turning from sin and turning to God, and of faith
in our Lord Jesus.
Acts 21: 19-21
