Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

Touching, Feeling, & Healing


Luke 8:46 (GW) “Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I know power has gone out of me.”


When my third daughter Aliyah was born, she had some breathing problems. She was inside a little incubator hooked up to all these cords.  Every time we would reach our hand inside the tube to touch her, her heart rate would rise and get higher and higher.   We would just barely even touch her and she knew that someone had touched her.


I have to ask you- Are you touching Jesus to where He knows that you touched Him?  And, is His healing power going out from Him?


Just one touch of the hem of His garment or just one whisper or cry to Him & that same healing power can go out from Him- to you!  Reach out, reach out, I need to say it again, Reach Out & Touch Him!


Will you be so determined to reach out & touch Him?  I like what the New Living Translation says,  “Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.”


Just a few verses before that it said that Jesus was on his way and the crowds almost crushed him.  Can you imagine all the people trying to get to Jesus to see what’s going on or just to touch him.  It could have cost that lady her life, but she didn’t care.  This lady made a desperate decision and got her miracle.  Believe in your heart & go get what you need from Him!


I encourage you to be deliberate & touch Him and as you do, His Healing Power will fall all over you in Jesus Name!
