"Flag Day"

Tomorrow, June 14th is FLAG DAY and if it's as in years past, it will be sad to see how many of my neighbors fly OTHER flags (sports teams, artistic flags, "hobby" flags, etc.) rather than "Old Glory."

You see, it's the AMERICAN flag that represents the FREEDOM we have to FLY other flags!!  Too often I've observed "other" flags flapping in a June breeze minus our AMERICAN flag, come June 14th...hopefully, in our new neighborhood (we moved 5 months ago) it will be different.  FREEDOM should not be taken for granted and, to me at least, the American flag represents FREEDOM.

To love one's free country should evoke a LEGITIMATE form of pride in us, and I find the OTHER kind of "Pride" flags, the flags that celebrate two sins (Homosexuality and, even worse, PRIDE ITSELF) to be repulsive.  We recently celebrated MEMORIAL DAY and the American flag should have been flying for that, ALSO....on Memorial Day, we remembered those who died to keep us free and it's hard to believe that they'd sacrifice their lives so that Americans would be "free" to fly a flag celebrating SINS.  Let's take a LEGIT form of pride in the AMERICAN flag, but not in a RAINBOW "Pride" flag.

By the way, (I just learned this) the American Flag should be flown on FATHER'S Day (this Sunday), as well.  On the other hand, I'd wish that all "Pride" flags would be taken down by their owners on Father's Day in respect and acknowledgement that their lifestyle cannot NATURALLY create kids as God intended....but that's a blog for another time. And I'm not holding my breath waiting for them to do that, Lol!!
