Often I find myself noticing all the Flags, and signs about our nation. Particularlly, "God Bless America". Why should He? Who are we that we should be asking that now? Where have our hearts been all along, when He tries to get our attention? Now at least my children's public school is reciting the pledge of alligence. This is a step in the right direction. But as I pass those signs I can't help but wonder; how many of the people who hang those signs, have a clue who God is? His name is out there. This is a big step. But how can we use this opportunity to evangelize?

Just asking questions of people right now gets an unbelievable response. Why do they have a flag displayed?
Where do they think God is in all of this? It's amazing the
answers you will get.
Hopefully, we will get back to being a Nation Under God.
Remember school prayer? Is that possible again? Maybe this
is where God wants us to be. Its Him saying to people, Remember Me?

Grace - right on!

There's an 'adult dance club' [strip bar] not far from our home.

Sign in front of the business: One side says, "Dancers Wanted". Other side says, "God Bless America".

People are more spiritually sensitive. However, I think many people are just using the "G" word because it's in vogue these days.

It's our job to connect with people -- neighbors, friends, co-workers, strip club patrons -- to engage them in a deeper dialog.
