In an effort to keep from hurting some people’s feelings our nation has taken Jesus out of virtually everything including our children’s schools. Jesus is not the problem He is the only solution. Until we bring Jesus back... it only gets worse from here. How can it be that the only solution...love...is considered the problem. I think because we don’t know what “Love” really is... John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” The opposite of this is lay …

In a lifetime, a man may be forced to defend others from physical harm a few times, unless he has volunteered his life to defend others on a daily basis in the military or law enforcement.

Decoration Day Memorial Day was once known as Decoration Day. Decoration Day began after the American Civil War to commemorate the Confederate and Union soldiers who had died in the war. The mourners honored the fallen by placing flowers on their graves. On the first Decoration Day in 1868, over 5,000 participants decorated over 20,000 Union and Confederate graves buried in Arlington National cemetery. What a sight that must have been!
