Praying for group to make right decision

Dear Editor,

To the Freedom From Religion people who want to take “In God We Trust” off our money, I’d like for them to read the poem I learned many years ago.

“You can’t do wrong and get by, no matter how hard you may try. Nothing hidden can be for everything God does see. You can’t do wrong and get by for there is a God who is standing at Heaven’s Door looking at the universe one! You can’t do wrong and get by. So when your life on Earth is ended an it’s only one breath away, and you are in God’s presence, do you want him to say depart from me I never knew you and go to Hell and burn for eternity or do you want to hear him say well done my good and faithful servant enter into the Joy of the Lord. It will be your choice. Not after death can someone pray you out of Hell.”

I’ll be praying they will all make the right decision.

Martha Blankenship, Thorsby
