[T'wit]

It's a grand old flag,
It's a high-flying flag...

Hi, Billie! Red, white and blue greetings of the day!

[Billie]

I'm posting Tuesday's thread a little early because I may be a little late in the morning 'getting here'. Tuesday, June 14th, is Flag Day, and this is my flag. I hope to see many, many flags posted on this thread!

[Billie]

Hi, T'wit! Haven't seen you in a while!

[luvie]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
LONG MAY THIS FLAG WAVE!!

[T'wit]

I stop by when I can. Now that I've abandoned California for the east coast, the hour makes it a little harder to drop by. Love y'all anyway :-)

[Billie]

That flag is awesome!

[luvie]

Thank you. I'll try to get "fancy" tomorrow--I'm way too tired tonight, but I did want to show everyone this one!

[Billie]

Well, I'm glad you stopped in tonight. I'm about to 'leave' but hope to get back here in the morning and see lots more flags flying high!

[The Thin Man]

Hi, Billie. Too late for me to read the thread tonight, but I'm sure you did a fine job as usual.

Did I really say that? Something's wrong... think I need a good night's sleep. :-)

[Allegra]

Good morning, Billie!

Happy Flag Day to you. Great thread, as usual. :-)

My flag is a little pin on my shirt. I don't exactly have a yard to fly my big one in right now, but it flies proudly in my heart all the time.

[Billie]

God Bless our Troops and keep them safe.

I will be back in the morning.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to

Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine; The Mayor; DollyCali,

Wait! Who is this?!

[Billie]

I was about to log off but saw your post and wanted to say hello first. Thank you, Allegra, and know you'll be flying your flag *IN YOUR YARD* too when you get home! Stay safe! Goodnight!

He's Always On The Bridge

Read:
Joshua 1:1-9

I will not leave you nor forsake you. —Joshua 1:5

Bible In One Year: Song of Songs 1-4

My friend Ralph had the thrilling experience of going on a short cruise on the aircraft carrier USS Kennedy. He saw jet fighters take off, land, and demonstrate maneuvers. He was told that whenever the planes are taking off or landing—dangerous operations—the captain watches from the bridge. Even if the planes are flying continually, he stays on the bridge, cat-napping between runs if necessary. So each time a pilot takes off or lands on the deck, he knows that his captain is always on duty.

In today's Scripture reading, when it was time for Joshua to take over as leader of Israel, he needed reassurance that God would be with him as He had been with Moses. The Israelites knew that Moses had divine direction during their wilderness journey because God led them by a pillar of fire and a cloud.

But what about Joshua? God promised him, "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you" (Joshua 1:5). Joshua could lead Israel with the absolute confidence that God was always watching over him.

Wherever we are, whatever bold endeavor we are involved in, or whatever spiritual battle we may face, we have the confidence that God is with us. What's more, He guides, protects, and leads us. He's always on the bridge! —Dave Egner

I trust in God—I know He cares for me,
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Though billows roll, He keeps my soul—
My heavenly Father watches over me. —Martin

The Christian finds safety not in the absence of danger but in the presence of God.

Lovely thread today Billie. May Old Glory wave another 1000 years above the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. GOD bless America and her fighting men and women.

Very nice but where'd that strange looking dog come from?
