Subject: Alabama Judge Removed  (submitted by Pam Stump)

Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing
since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the
Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem
he wrote. It's below his picture.

                                   The following is a poem written by Judge Roy    
                                   Moore from Alabama.   Judge Moore was sued by
                                   the ACLU for displaying  the Ten Commandments
                                  in his courtroom foyer.
                                  He has been stripped of his judgeship and now
                                  they are trying to strip his right to
                                  practice law in Alabama The judge's poem sums
                                  it up quite well

America the Beautiful, or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain
From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away From the teaching
of God's love, and a need to always pray.
We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges; who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's not angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait before His judgment comes?
How are we to face our God, from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide?  
If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face and mend our evil way:
Then God will hear from Heaven; and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful, if you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee.
~~Judge Roy Moore~~

What Feats of Wonder
IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.
IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION.
IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED
INTO HEAVEN.
IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY
FEEDING 5,000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD.
IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND, WITHOUT
ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS.
IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL
COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE.
IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH
HIM.

JESUS HAD NO SERVANTS, YET THEY CALLED HIM MASTER;
HAD NO DEGREE, YET THEY CALLED HIM TEACHER;
HAD NO MEDICINES, YET THEY CALLED HIM HEALER.
HE HAD NO ARMIES, YET RULERS FEARED HIM.
HE WON NO MILITARY BATTLES, YET HE CONQUERED THE WORLD.
HE COMMITTED NO CRIME, YET THEY CRUCIFIED HIM.
HE WAS BURIED IN A TOMB, YET HE LIVES TODAY.
I FEEL HONORED TO SERVE SUCH A LEADER WHO LOVES US!
JOIN US AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY.
The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said,"It
was a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket
theater seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the church
always fills first now."
The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, "And you
told me adding a little more beat to the music would bring young
people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in
that rock'n'roll gospel
choir. Now our services are consistently packed to the
balcony."

"Thank you, Father," answered the young priest. "I am pleased
that you are open to the new ideas of youth."
"All of these ideas have been well and good," said the elderly
priest, "But I'm afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru
confessional." "But, Father," protested the young priest, "my
confessions and the
donations have nearly doubled since I began that!" "Yes,"
replied the elderly priest, "And I appreciate that. But the
flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell' cannot stay on
the church roof."
