...the phrase "under God" into the United States Pledge of Allegiance. Since I was born on March 24, 1955, I can remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school that included the phrase "under God" in it.

I pray that we as a Nation bring back our Pledge of Allegiance to all our schools in America again. It's time we bring God back into our Nation again.

James Madison, the Chief Architect of the Constitution of the United States of America said, "We have staked the whole future of America civilization upon the concept of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments."

Let me refresh your memory as to what they are: Exodus 20:3-17

1. You shall have no other gods before me.

2. You shall not make any graven image.    

3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

4. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother.

6. You shall not murder.

7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not bear false witness.

10. You shall not covet.

Commandments one through four are our duties to God. Commandments five to ten are our duties to each other. Jesus summarized all ten into two. Love God, Love People. I want to thank all of our Veterans and active servicemen and women for providing the freedom we all enjoy in America. I especially want to thank Jesus Christ for providing freedom in our souls through His death on the cross and His resurrection from the tomb.

God Bless You all and God Bless America.
