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."

Kicking & Screaming
Posted on February 20, 2013 by katherine


As I drop off my girls to school every morning, it breaks my heart to see this little kindergarten boy kicking & screaming throwing his arms all around not wanting his Daddy to leave. It takes 2-3 staff members to restrain him from running after his daddy. And, this happens every single day!


I wonder if we ever get like that when we haven’t been with our Heavenly Father. Do we kick & scream until we get a chance to have that private time with him? Does everything inside of us yearn to be with God? Just as that little boy tries so hard to reach out for his Dad as he leaves, are we reaching out to Father God wanting so desperately to reach Him and be with Him?


I encourage you not to let anything hinder you from reaching Him each and everyday. He wants to be with you. Lord, give us a desire to spend more quality time with you.


“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere…” Psalm 84:10
