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."

DAY 26- DAILY DEVOTION - JUNE 19, 2012

June 19



Say the Name of JESUS


When you don’t know what else to do or when you need a good jumpstart to your day.. Say the Name JESUS- demons and everything else trembles and falls to the ground at the name of Jesus… I love the name of JESUS..


When I was having my 4th daughter Alivia, they were having trouble giving me the spinal tap.  I started saying, JESUS, JESUS, JESUS. They had to give it to me like 3 times.. I kept saying JESUS, JESUS, JESUS.  While saying His name, I had such complete peace.  And when they finally let Bryan in the room, I was so relaxed for my C-section, that Bryan kept asking me if I was ok since my eyes were closed and I wasn’t saying anything. I had such peace that I can’t describe.  That only comes from Him!


Peace, Peace, wonderful peace- that ONLY comes from JESUS not a spouse, child, or money.


Whatever you are facing today, call out JESUS & watch His peace surround you as a shield..  JESUS, JESUS, JESUS!!

DAY 26 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER FOR THE NATION) - JUNE 19, 2012

June 19



Prayer for the Nation


God of ages,
in your sight nations rise and fall,
and pass through times of peril.
Now when our land is troubled,
be near to judge and save.
May leaders be led by your wisdom;
may they search your will and see it clearly.
If we have turned from your way,
help us to reverse our ways and repent.
Give us your light and your truth to guide us;
through Jesus Christ,
who is Lord of this world, and our Savior. Amen.

DAY 26 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 19, 2012

June 19



The first formal "Father's Day" was celebrated JUNE 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington.


Sonora Louise Smart Dodd heard a church sermon on the newly established Mother's Day and wanted to honor her father, Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, who had raised six children by himself after his wife died in childbirth.


Sonora drew up a petition supported by the Young Men's Christian Association and the ministers of Spokane.


In 1916, Woodrow Wilson spoke at a Spokane Fathers' Day service. President Nixon, in 1972, established Father's Day as a permanent national observance.


On Tuesday, December 6, 1904, in his Fourth Annual Message to Congress, President Theodore Roosevelt stated:


"No Christian and civilized community can afford to show a happy-go-lucky lack of concern for the youth of to-day; for, if so, the community will have to pay a terrible penalty of financial burden and social degradation in the to-morrow....


The prime duty of the man is to work, to be the breadwinner; the prime duty of the woman is to be the mother, the housewife. All questions of tariff and finance sink into utter insignificance when compared with the tremendous, the vital importance of trying to shape conditions so that these two duties of the man and of the woman can be fulfilled under reasonably favorable circumstances."


On May 20, 1981, in a Proclamation of Father's Day, President Ronald Reagan stated:


"'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,' Solomon tells us. Clearly, the future is in the care of our parents. Such is the responsibility, promise, and hope of fatherhood. Such is the gift that our fathers give us."


On Father's Day, 1988, Ronald Reagan said:


"Children, vulnerable and dependent, desperately need security, and it has ever been a duty and a joy of fatherhood to offer it.


Being a father requires strength...and more than a little courage...to persevere, to fight discouragement, and to keep working for the family."


Reagan continued:


"With God's grace, fathers find the patience to teach, the fortitude to provide, the compassion to comfort, and the mercy to forgive.


All of this is to say that they find the strength to love their wives and children selflessly."


President Reagan ended:


"Let us...express our thanks and affection to our fathers, whether we can do so in person or in prayer."


Williams Jennings Bryan gave over 600 public speeches during his Presidential campaigns, with his most famous being "The Prince of Peace,” which was printed in the New York Times, September 7, 1913:


"Christ promoted peace by giving us assurance that a line of communication can be established between the Father above and the child below."


Fathers Day. June 19, 1910. The first formal "Father's Day" celebrated in Spokane, Washington, by Sonora Louise Smart Dodd. In 1972, President Richard M.
