God's Country?

Last weekend I ran my second triathlon. It went well for going on 3 hours sleep and remnants of being sick. The reason I bring it up is the difference between events. The first event was in Oregon. The second obviously here in Arkansas, but it started with prayer & corporate recitation of the Lord's Prayer. That would never happen in Portland. To reiterate how different Arkansas is to Portland, here is the sign that greets drivers on the East entrance to town.
