What Has Become of Our Nation?

I am a devout Christian and have had a problem with Obama as president . But I have respected him as president in spite of the horrible things he keeps doing. I sta rted with this link.

I kept looking at related links and found them very informative. Once and for all it became clear we have a Muslim for a president that is trying to demolish the Christian heritage of America. I listened to speeches Congressman Obama gave in congress. He glorified  the Koran, bowed to a Moslem King which no previous American President has done this. He did not bow to the queen of England. Perhaps this has something to do with his not being welcome at the royal wedding.

I am appalled America, once declared a “Christian Nation “ now has been called a  non-Christian nation with a president singing the praises of Moslems in early America. In all the history I ever studied I have never heard of a Moslem in the founding of our nation. Granted there are notable Moslems now but not when America  was founded. The farthest back I can remember and Moslem was when Casus Clay became Mohamad Ali.

In the signers of the Declaration with very few exceptions were in most cases not only believers but ministers as well. You can check this out through the tapes and writings of David Barton, through his webbsight Wallbuilders.

A New Post

I have had several blogs over the years for a number of different reasons. This one is about writing. I will be putting in some of my old writings; new ones as well you will also see some new things like possible magazine articles as though I was still writing for one of the magazines that have been published in the past. Some of those will strictly be for this blog others, will       be sent  to various publishers.

Today however I will introduce myself and explain why I am starting another blog. Before I got married I was published several times under my maiden name Annette E. Conner. I tried hyphenating for a while but Conner-Agnello was awkward. So I simply go by my married name Annette C. Agnello. When you change what you are know by you loose your past publication history it is at best a calculated risk. No one connects the poems published under my maiden name with the articles under my married name.

When I was a kid I had teachers who looked at my spelling and declared I could not write. I was a junior in high school who blessed me by looking at the writing and made me correct the spelling and hand it in again.  Suddenly my writing was considered good. It was a new experience.

Like most people I had begun with writing poems, quite a few of them got published. The first I entered in a contest and won. I remember writing Goldfinch. I came to a garage to get work done on my car. It was a early morning appointment and I got there before the place opened and watched a goldfinch eat a thistle. Close observation from a parked car gave me a clear view and let the bird feel as if he was alone. I was listening to an album that I liked so much I literally wore it out. I wish I could find another copy of “Bach by the Beach”. By the time the mechanic showed up I had the poem.

GOLDFINCH

On hillside grew a thistle
Filled with ripened seed
Festooned with silken plumes
God's provision, lowly weed

A pair of goldfinch
Attracted by purple crown
Stood on thorny blossom
Finding seeds beneath the down

Neath the colorful petals
Uncovering tasty seeds
In joyful abandon feasted,
At banquet form a weed

True to his promise, God provided
Birds of the air all they could eat
Together they sing their praises
Thanking God from banquet seat

Never hungering, with no worries
Trusting God for all their needs
Enjoying what he provided
Dining on their feast of seeds

I graduated to articles and short stories and now to writing a book. This is nothing like I expected to write for a first entry, for my writing blog. I am restarting an old blog,
