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."

Let Go & Let God



Do you feel like you’ve been playing a game of tug & war with things that you know you should have released over to Him, but for some reason you are still holding onto them?

I am sure you have heard the saying, Let Go & Let God.  It’s really just that simple.  You have to come to a place where you are tired of struggling and are so desperate to give it all to Him, not holding back on anything.  All or none!  There is no in between.  You’ve held onto it long enough.  Now is the time to Let Go & Let God!

Let go of the pride, girlfriend, career, choices you’ve made, or climbing the corporate ladder.  Release it all to Him- He wants to take ahold of you & point you in the right direction.   Lay it down at His feet!   He is so ready to take the load from you.   Jesus is saying to you right now “Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 (GW)

When you Let Go & Let God that’s when we can finally  “..run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God’s heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (GW)

DAY 32 - DAILY PRAYER (ANGER) - JUNE 25, 2012

June 25




Heavenly Father,


Please help me to dwell on the good and the positive in my life. I know that it is You who examines our hearts. Search the inner depths of my heart and expose anything that is not of You so I can be set free of it.
Lord, where I have directed anger toward others in my life or held anger inside of me, I confess that as sin and ask You to forgive me and take all the anger away. Heal any wounds that I have inflicted, through my words and actions, in others and myself. Help me to speak sweet words and healing, for I know that pleases You. Where I have shown anger toward others I confess it to you as sin. Bring Your restoration to every situation where it is needed.
Thank You, Lord, that You will redeem my soul in peace from the battle that is against me. I believe that You, the God of peace will crush the enemy under my feet. Help me to live righteously because I know there is a connection between obedience to Your ways and peace. Help me to depart from thoughts of anger and bouts with depression; help me to seek peace and actively pursue it. Thank You that You will take away all anger in me and keep me in perfect peace, because my mind is fixed on You Father.  In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

DAY 32- DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 25, 2012

The Korean War started JUNE 25, 1950. 


Communist North Korea invaded South Korea, killing thousands. 


General Douglas MacArthur was given command of the U.N. Forces and after a daring landing of troops at Inchon, MacArthur recaptured the city of Seoul. 


Political involvement prolonged the war, resulting in high casualties. 


President Truman stated in his 1952 Christmas Message: 


"Our hearts turn first of all to our brave men and women in Korea. 


They are fighting and suffering and even dying that we may preserve the chance of peace in the world." 


Truman continued: 


"Let us remember always to try to act...in the spirit of the Prince of Peace. 


He bore in His heart no hate and no malice - nothing but love for all mankind. 


We should...follow His example...


As we pray for our men and women in Korea...let us also pray for our enemies...


Through Jesus Christ the world will yet be a better and a fairer place." 


General Douglas MacArthur led the United Nations Command in the Korean War from 1950 to 1951. 


He made a successful landing at Incheon, deep behind North Korean lines, and recaptured Seoul. To the Salvation Army, December 12, 1951, General Douglas MacArthur said: 


"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. 


There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."
