FREEDOM:

I had a dream during the night of me standing before a class of students reciting the Gettysburg Address that I had learned over 60 plus years before.

A man who looked similar to Abraham Lincoln but without the beard was sitting in the class mouthing the words as I began. It so unnerved me I lost my train of thoughts and asked him to look the other way.

I began again but half way through it I stumbled badly. I apologized and then walked towards the front of the class and began to tell them about this man and his commitment to bring freedom and it cost him.

I told them they had gifts, talents and abilities too like Lincoln.

Jesus had come to give us even greater freedom and then the dream ended.

You and I [if] born again [Jesus lives inside us] are now absolutely free TO LOVE EVERYONE AS HE DID.

We are free from Satan's power to cause us to sin.

We are free to stand up and acknowledge JESUS IS ALIVE FOR HE LIVES IN ME AND WILL LIVE IN ANYONE WHO WILL SURRENDER TO HIM.

We are now more free than ever to stand up for Him when He is blasphemed by hateful folks who follow the devil.

We can be assured our freedom was given to us so we can help others also find their FREEDOM IN JESUS.

Shortly, I'm going back up on the bridge for an hour or so to hold up my sign, JESUS IS ALIVE FOR YOU.

Please pray for me. I'm always in need. The Lord willing Joan and I will be at Calvary Emerald Coast in FWB. Service begins at 9:30. You are invited to join us.

Look up our Redeemer is near. Shalom.

“But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief” (Job 16:5).

The spoken word is powerful, and spoken words of encouragement can bring great comfort. The idea is not to speak many words, but the right words. Consider this:

The Lord’s Prayer contains 71 words.
The Gettysburg Address contains 272 words.
The Ten Commandments contains 139 words.
The Declaration of Independence contains 1323 words.

When it comes to words with impact, being TOO LONG is not a value. But speaking the right words can be life changing.

Great leaders have been, almost without exception, great communicators – though not necessarily great speakers. The main address at the Gettysburg battlefield dedication ceremony was two hours long, delivered by the best known orator of the day, Edward Everett. But it was the brief speech immediately following, given by President Abraham Lincoln, that is celebrated
today as one of the grandest, most sublime and most moving utterances ever spoken.

Knowing i dont have to memorize the Gettysburg address anymore makes my night a whole lot better

@LukeMorris @gerrrib *re-memorizes Gettysburg address*

I think Red Skelton explained it best. (NOTE HE DID THIS PRIOR TO THE ADMISSION OF HAWAII AND ALASKA AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF "UNDER GOD")

I

me, an individual, a committee of one.

Pledge

dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity. (also means promise or affirm)

Allegiance

my love and my devotion.

To the flag

our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever

she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given

her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job!

United

that means that we have all come together.

States

individual communities that have united into 48 great states.

Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and

purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to

a common purpose, and that's love for country. (Now 50 states but the meaning remains the same)

And to the republic

a state in which sovereign power is

invested in representatives chosen by the

people to govern. And government is the people

and it's from the people to the leaders, not from

the leaders to the people.

For which it stands, one nation

one nation, meaning "so

blessed by God"

Indivisible

incapable of being divided.

With liberty

which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's

own life without threats, fear or some sort of

retaliation.

And Justice

the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.

For all

which means, boys and girls, it's as much your

country as it is mine.

Since he stated this the words "Under God" were added. What most people fail to realize is that most religions have a God. Muslims have Allah. Jews have Jehovah. Hindus have Rama among others. Buddhists have their spiritual leader in Buddha. Even Wiccans have the God and Goddess (similar to the Yin and Yang in Taoism). In regards to the Pledge when we say Under God Americans are referring to whatever God they worship in respect to their religion.

A side note is that the original argument for the addition of Under God in the Pledge stems from the Gettysburg Address. In this address, Lincoln stated "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom"

Miura

... that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom --- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln ... Gettysburg Address;

DID YOU KNOW:
√ The US Constitution does not say marriage is about 1 man and 1 woman nor does the Bible.
√ New York (where LGBT marriage is legal) has the 3rd lowest divorce rate in the US? That Oklahoma (where LGBT marriage is illegal) has the 3rd highest?

I believe, as long as no one is hurt by another's activities, everyone should be treated equal (that is not in the Constitution either - it's from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address).
