Pray for God's intersession

To the Editor:
The past two weeks I was privileged to participate in two unheralded events in our beautiful Scott Valley.
The past two weeks I was privileged to participate in two unheralded events in our beautiful Scott Valley.
The first was a "Prayer walk" with other Christians. This is a valley wide event that will take place one Sunday per month, simply walking and praying over Scott Valley for redemption of sin past and present and for special blessings that Scott Valley be healed and be known as a healing place. What a comfort to walk with other Christians and to call out to God to forgive and to bless all people and the land of Scott Valley. Quiet and simple - yet very empowering. With the Lord at our side whom then shall we fear?
The next weekend I participated in a traditional cattle drive, for about eight miles and right through the town of Fort Jones. As we passed through the town and the CHP officer cleared the trail of traffic, people in their cars stopped to look and take pictures of this "parade of cattle and mounted horsemen/women." Each person who observed had wide grins on their faces and waved to stopped to get a picture of this "old west" scene. Our heritage on parade - a link to the past - a sense of rural America, that speaks to the heart.
Imagine these two events taken away - all people cast off the land and out of rural American communities, no more cattle drivers or farms and ranches to pass the baton of heritage to our children, no more small towns, no small business. How about a country with no God at the helm, no more Christians allowed to pray and ask for God's intersession? When we are herded into the cities, to be controlled and brainwashed, how will our hearts survive? How will our eyes see and our hands feel the beauty that is God's creation that stirs our souls to feel His presence and to catch a glimpse of true freedom? What about our children and grandchildren, what will a life without this heritage be like for them? What prompted the smiles of people watching the cattle drive and what prompted the words of heartfelt prayers? It is America - the American spirit - the America we all know and so dearly love. It is freedom - that is America - America who was founded on Christian principles and for all men to be free!
Men and women have died to preserve this freedom, immigrants have clamored to reach our shores, we are the United States of America. Let us all begin now to stand together, to unite in prayer and spirit and to take our country back!
Please vote with consciousness and conviction!
Please unit on DFG/ITP and just say "NO!"
Please pray for God's intersession to save our great nation, America the Beautiful!
