I will post about the funeral when I have time. Just thought I would let everyone now that I am back on campus now playing the catch up game. Anyways, I found this email today. This was a forward and I do not know where it came from but it is interesting...

As you walk up the steps to the Capitol Building which houses the
Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the
world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is
facing forward with a full frontal view - it is Moses and the Ten
Commandments! As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak
doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each
door. As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right
above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten
Commandments!
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings
and Monuments in Washington, D.C.
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our
Constitution" made the following statement "We have staked the whole of
all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for
self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern
ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the
Ten Commandments of God."
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said, "It
cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation
was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions
but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose
salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the
established orthodox churches in the colonies.
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority
and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law....an
oligarchy....the rule of few over many. The very first Supreme Court
Justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians
as their rulers."
How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for
220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?
Please forward this to everyone you can. Lets put it around the world
and let the world see what this country was built on.
'IN GOD WE TRUST
