I was about 6 when the case happened and the ruling came down in the Murray case. I live in a rural area so it didn't significantly impact our schools even through my high school years. Our H.S. principal was also an ordained minister. He had the respect and love of most of the students. I also remember my senior class singing "Because He Lives" at our graduation ceremony. It was our choice.

About three years after I graduated a mega consolidated high school took it's place. Problems upon problems plagued it including the new principal getting caught up in a scandal where his son got credit for classes never taken. I worked there for a couple of months after I got out of the Navy. The new high school was a zoo.

The singer Carman has a good song and video called "America Again" that shows the nations moral decline in the past 50 years. Murray was one of about a dozen who were instrumental in bringing down national morality.

I remember while growing up my cousins had a neighbor across the road from them. She was a devout atheist. The mention of GOD would get her wrath. Her daughter moved out just so she could go to church. A neighbor took her in. I think she ended up being a teacher. Her son who seemed to be on the wild side in his youth later became a preacher :>}

I asked my cousin about her a few months after she passed and asked if she had ever changed her viewpoints. He said yea finally in her last days her son was able to get her to listen and as I understand it she received Christ before she passed. The sad part is all the years of her life she was miserable without Christ.

Hallelujah!

Yet another example of the parable of the Vineyard!
