This may be off topic but I felt this is a good place to relate the events of a basketball game between two very fine schools and athletic programs. This was a hard played game and the winner earned the victory.

 

A friend of mine once said “as long as there are tests in school there will be prayer in schools”.

 

It is nice to see a school system that will still allow prayer before a sports event as was witnessed before the game with Shelby Valley at Raceland on Saturday. I was told of a mom that purposely, at half time, came from the Shelby Valley side of the gym to thank the gentleman for offering up a prayer for the safety of the players; as well as for traveling to and from the game. This prayer happened just before the singing of the National Anthem.

 

We as a country may be getting away from why God Blessed America and the honor that this country has stood for. When our schools can give our young people a respect for God and country, a well grounded education and an opportunity to participate in a respectable sporting event, then we will have won a great victory as a nation.

Thanks for the kind comments about Raceland. At Raceland there is a prayer before every athletic event - football, basketball, baseball. I don't know of another school in the area that still does this. I have been told by other schools that they are afraid of a lawsuit, that is why they quit praying before games. But, I can tell you right now, we have never had a complaint from anyone about the pre-contest prayer. However, we have had several people thank us for doing it.

:thumb: I have never hear any complaints either, usually a thank you like you said. I am also proud to be an alum/fan of a school system that is not afraid of all of the "politically correct" crew that wants to control everything. :thumb:

Politically correct is all people can think about now, not infringing on other rights, but what about our rights. Afew rule now it is a sad state of afairs.

[Lil' Devil Dad]

Very nice to hear that this happens. I am 100% for prayer anywhere. Just curious though, if Raceland were to get some students who believed in something other than what the majority believes in, will they continue to pray? This would be interesting to see.
