HOW STANDS OUR UNION?

FRIDAY! TGED! Late good morning to all,, we are up early , but then visit with each other, for my son John Jr, and his wife, Alice are down this week, and we are enjoying every second with them,,, for we don't get to see them often...and I want each of you to have a great God's Day which is each day He allots us. So invite, and give Him thanks as you travel through your day, this Friday!,,and read this mornings thoughts with a very open, and understanding of what I am about to write..... Prayer Request: For Brenda Jarriel,,, who lost her only brother , Joey, on his four wheeler yesterday.. Please pray for her, she is a special friend of mine for a work place long ago... Pray for her understanding, and for God to comfort during this great, great lost to her! HOW STANDS OUR UNION? This was inspired to me as I watched an old movie,,, of the patriotism of our troops of old.. back on, and during 12/7/41,,, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The movie was after the war, and John Wayne was staring, and Jim Arness was the co-star. Jim had lost his brother on the Arizona, and they were visiting it to remember him...and of course the movie did a part of all our fighting men, the families, the work of the people here, and their contribution to the war... all were pulling together, and was going to win this one as a "One America" and a "ONE AMERICA , UNDER GOD"... and as I watched this,,,, I was trilled of the times of mine, as a small child watching parades,,pledging allegiance to our flag at school, at Bible School,,, and just seeing one, was an inspiration to me ,,, made my heart jump a little each time... and words from our President then, on the radio as he spoke,, from Mom and Dad ame this ,,, "HUSH,, the President is speaking",, and all in the house, and in the United States stopped to hear him, for then,, all respected that office....and him... and He was not shy about using the name of our God, in his speeches.. nor was the elected officials,,,(that we held up as special , back then),, and when he used God's name, there was no news media backlash from them,,, but a real report of him, and not their interpretation of themselves and their beliefs to us,,they let us hear, and interpret the truth!.... WOW!!! What a change this new day is.... for we are still free,,, to some extent,, taxed to the hilt, taking care of those who need us, and also those who are too lazy to work,,,the freeloaders abound within this Nation,,, satan abounds in this Nation,, our news media tries to tell us every piece of new with them explaining all ,even a landslide, as if we do not know what dirt sliding down a mountain is.. we are treated as pets,,, needing to be fed, held, and told what to do.. but run and work to get the bone, and bring it back to the other dogs...who don't work,,and killing concepted babies, ,, but we are still free...more free than all other countries... we can cross state to state without papers,, but how long this will last,, I am afraid of guessing, for it is close,, ANDn our troops,, are treated less than they should, we pay them so little ,yet we will pay doped up ball player of what-ever millions upon millions to entertain us while this trooper is giving his or her life for our freedom,,, and do we throw the "thank you reef"? No ,,, not always,, do we respect our elected officials,, no,, but we elected them.. or they did!!!! Now, at the end of that reminder of those who gave their lives on the Arizona and went down fighting, and all those lost at that time,,,was these words, in that movie,, this inspiration to all watching, and I'll bet an applause went up in tht movie house,, as it was said......,,, "AND THEY STAYED TRUE TO THE UNION,,AND THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES DEFENDING HER TO THE END!" Then these words,,, OUR UNION TODAY,,, (THEN) IS STILL SOLID AND WELL"! and I ask you today,,, WHAT IS THE STATE OF OUR UNION ,, TODAY,,, JULY 26, 2013? God, I ask,,, "will You continue to give us our freedom , and forgive us , this Nation of its' many, many sins... and give the ones who run our Nation, and big, big place in their hearts, and on their tongues ,, YOUR NAME, and YOUR WORD! amen John HIcks I speak of God as my Savior, and the leader of my life, and I pray that He will do this for all of us, and forgive us for not putting Him at the helm of our sailing ship of our lives!!! Let's all together this day, and declare that Our Nation Is Still Solid, and Strong, and It Does Have Our God, At The Helm, and Our Flag Waves From Him First and Foremost",,,, Will you join me in this new UNION, UNDER GOD?
