We fly the flag every day, usually a smaller version. We have done that since 9-11 when we were reminded so vividly of being an American and living on soil that hadn't yet borne the grief of terroism. This one we fly on special days such as today, the celebration of Veteran's Day!
I don't think of myself as widly patriotic in the usual sense, I am however, so thankful to God to live in this country where I can worship Him in spirit and in truth and not be persecuted for it. It is easy to take that freedom for granted and although it is God given, as all thing are, it has been fought for and defended by brave and courageous men and women.
I hope that you remember them today.
About Eileen Beckett
Eileen Beckett Barnhart (19?? - September 15, 2015) was a faithful contributor to this website starting in 2004. She was a very special lady! She will be missed and we look forward to our reunion with her in Christ together on the new earth. Here are some of her favorite quotes: "Be a Berean."
"In the stead of sin and death, He giveth unto us righteousness and everlasting life; and by this means He changeth the bondage and terrors of the law into liberty of conscience and consolation of the gospel." - Martin Luther
"If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright." - Martin Luther
