MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD TRY GOD INSTEAD OF MARIJUANA

We see the marijuana problem on television and read about it in the 
newspapers. It seems that marijuana is now almost as easy to get as a 
container of aspirin.

Even children are able to find the marijuana and for sure get 
an-out-of-control feeling, or as they say, "a high".

I always wonder where they get the money to buy it. I understand that 
there is a 1,000-foot distance from any school that legal marijuana 
can be sold. However, if someone wants it bad enough that 1,000 feet 
distance is nothing.

Why do we need to have marijuana to take away pain? I know there are 
other pain medicines that a medical doctor can prescribe, and they 
will take away pain.

Yes, I'm sure there are people who absolutely need marijuana for pain 
and only those are the ones who should get it, then only if it is 
prescribed by a doctor.

I wonder why there are people who feel they need a lift in their 
lives? What has happened to the thought that there just might be a 
more intelligent way to find the help we all need at times. What is 
the answer? It's simple. How about asking our wonderful God for help 
through the power of prayer.

I know that prayer has been taken out of schools and many public 
places, however, it is still just fine to have it in your own home. 
E-mail prayer or cell phone prayer for sure the old fission phone it 
still works God can listen to all of those at one time just give him a try.

Let's ask God to give us the correct answers to help get our America 
back to a praying America. Remember, one of our Founding Fathers, 
George Washington, went to his knees in prayer asking God for answers 
to help start our wonderful America.

God is still answering prayer and He is waiting for yours.
