My all time favorite is the original "King Kong".

[Chi-townChief]

And the best movie line:

"Don't be so gloomy...After all, it's not that awful -- you know what the fellow said... In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long, Holly.

Anybody that's ever played a round of golf knows that feeling though.......Granted, you don't blow up in the U.S. Open, but you know the feeling of "Dang it, I can make that shot!"

"OPENING PRAYER -- KANSAS STATE SENATE"

This is awesome.....hope it is contagious!!!!

Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in KANSAS at the opening session of their Senate.
It seems prayer still upsets some people.

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas  State Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good", but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that.
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and
called it Pluralism.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery,
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare,
We have killed our unborn and called it choice,
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable,
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem,
We have abused power and called it politics,
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and
called it ambition,
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of statement,
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent:
to direct us to the center of Your will and to openly ask these things in the name of Your Son, the
living Savior, Jesus Christ."
"Amen.!! "

---

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.

In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.

The church is now receiving international requests for copies
of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea.

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that
we again can be called, "One nation under God."

If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends.
Think about this:

If you forward this prayer to everyone on your
email list in less than 30 days it would be heard
by the world.

God Bless gutsy, Joe Wright.!!
