Our Flag Flying Proudly One Nation Under God
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, They're fighting for our Freedom.

God Bless Our Republic
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.
Prayers going up
Usually were told to smile before someone takes our picture. But in some parts of the US, a no-smiling policy is enforced when getting your photo taken for a drivers license. Because of identity theft, these motor vehicle departments carefully check new photos that are taken to be sure they dont match photos already in the system. If someone gets a picture taken under a false name, an alarm is sent to the operator. From 1999 to 2009, one state stopped 6,000 people from getting fraudulent licenses. But why no smiling? The technology recognizes a face more easily if the person has a neutral facial expression.
Jesus prescribed a good way to recognize a Christian. He told His disciples, By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35). The ways to show love to fellow believers are as endless as there are people with needs: a note of encouragement, a visit, a meal, a gentle rebuke, a prayer, a Bible verse, a listening ear, even just a friendly smile.
The apostle John wrote, We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren (1 John 3:14). Can others recognize, by our care for fellow Christians, that we know and love the Lord?
