~Hold Fast!
Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of
your liberties; write its precepts on your heart
and practice them in your lives.
To the influence of this Book we are indebted
for the progress made, and to this we must look
as our guide in the future.
~Ulysses S. Grant

Power In A Dream
The power in a dream God dreams for you
is stronger than the weight of tradition, mightier
than the force of history.
The right kind of dream can be liberate an
entire nation or emancipate a life from any
negative circumstances.

Reflections - John F. Kennedy
My fellow Americans: ask not what your country
can do for you--ask what you can do for your
country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what
America will do for you, but what together we
can do for the freedom of man.
--John F. Kennedy

America Confesses
Our Father, bring to the remembrance of Thy
people Thine ancient and time-honored promises:
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will
heal their land."
We--'This company of Thy people assembled--
would begin now to meet the conditions that will
enable Thee to fulfill Thy promise.
May all of America come to understand that right-
living alone exalteth a nation, that only in Thy will
can peace and joy be found. But, Lord this
land cannot be righteous unless her people are righteous,
and we, here gathered, are part of America.
We know that the world cannot be changed until the
hearts of men are changed. Our hearts need to be changed.
We therefore confess to Thee that:
Wrong ideas and sinful living have cut us off from Thee.
We have been greedy.
We have sought to hide behind barricades of selfishness;
shackles have imprisioned the great heart of America.
We have tried to isolate ourselves from the bleeding
wounds of a blundering world.
In our self-sufficiency we have sought not Thy help.
We have held conferences and ignored Thee completely.
---Peter Marshall
