God is sending a message from Athens, Texas!

I am so proud of my East Texas town for standing up to a Wisconsin-based group, The Freedom From Religion Foundation that try to tell our small town what we could do in our own town. If you are not aware of this group, then let me explain they don't believe in God. They decided to interfered in our town when one unidentified person complained to them about the manger scene on the downtown Athens square,

The people here in Henderson County did not waste any time responding to them. The City attorney made it plain to them saying it was legal and it was staying. The Texas Attorney General has offered his support if needed, but our community is capable of taking care of things themselves, It is a shame that this type of thing happens in our society today and the city police have to keeo an eye on this beautiful scene at night, so no harm will come it.. It is even worse when our federal representatives will; not stand up for the rights of this country. Not able to mention "MERRY CHRISTMAS" in the White House is beyond belief, If you come to Athens you will hear people saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS".

here is an article written about our town.

God is sending a message from Athens, Texas!

When
a Wisconsin-based group, The Freedom From Religion Foundation (TFFR), ordered
city leaders in Athens, Texas, to remove a Nativity scene from the courthouse
lawn, officials and citizens were single-minded in their response. "Don't mess
with Texas, and don't mess with our Nativity!"

The foundation asked for the baby Jesus to be removed, or for a sign to be
put up next to his crib that would read: "At this season of the winter solstice
may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell.
There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that
hardens hearts and enslaves minds."

But their attack prompted a tremendous outcry not just in Henderson County,
but across the nation.

Pastor Nathan Lorick of First Baptist Church in nearby Malakoff, Texas, said
it was time to stand up and speak up in defense of Christianity. He and other
community leaders held a rally this past Saturday on the Courthouse Square near
the Nativity scene, where supporters joined together in songs of
praise.
