Things I Take Notice Of

My dad helps with a butchering at a community club in Burkittsville Maryland. The club is called the Ruritan. Once a year I guess as kind of a "thank you" to the people that help with this butchering. They hold a picnic of sorts lots of great hot food and people also bring in desserts. Its great food and great fellowship in a small community. I had the chance to go with dad last night to the picnic. I remember going to events for kids at this club years ago when I was a kid. The funny thing is last night I saw allot of people there that I remembered they just looked much older LOL as I am sure I did to them as well. Of course the flip side of that is I am also blown away by the amount of people that remember who I am and I sometimes have no clue who they are. LOL I seem to be very bad at remembering people whom I knew years ago and haven't seen in a long time.

One other thing that I noticed while I was there before everyone got their food they had a PRAYER! I thought that we as Christians had lost our right to do this in public. I can't believe they still do it or have not gotten sued by someone who says they can't do that. I mean after all they took prayer out of schools........ But then maybe the catch is this was a "club" dare I say private club I'm not sure it is classed as private but it may be.

I'm not saying that praying before a meal is bad don't misunderstand me. As a matter of fact it is a good thing I think its great that they still do this. I was just taken back a step or two when they did. In this time of having calls to remove "Under God" out of the pledge and "In God We Trust" off our money. Maybe there is hope for us yet although I doubt it. Christians seem to be becoming a minority in the USA. Or maybe its that they don't make as much noise for their rights as the many other religions.
