Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Meaning of flag draped coffin- Thanks Tom & Carolyn!

Meaning of  Flag Draped Coffin
All  Americans should be given this lesson.  Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought.  Our founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to  establish our Great Nation and I think it's high time Americans get  re-educated about this Nation's history.
Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud of those who serve to protect  our 'GOD GIVEN' rights and freedoms.


I  hope you take the time to read this ... To understand what the flag  
draped coffin really means ... Here is how to understand the flag that  laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and  widowers.
Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun  salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the  year 1776?

ATT00258

Have you ever noticed the honor guard pays meticulous attention to 
correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times?  You  probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we  learn something new every day!
The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of life.

ATT00261

The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.

ATT00264

The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.

ATT00267

The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens
trusting in God, it is to Him
we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war forHis divine  guidance.

ATT00270

The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen 
Decatur, 'Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still  our country, right or wrong.'

ATT00273

The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie.  It is with their heart that 
they pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America , and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation  under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect  their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic.

ATT00276

The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the 
shadow of death
, that we might see the light of day.

ATT00279

The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers.  For it has been 
through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been  molded.
The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons  
and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first  born.

ATT00282

The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King  David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

ATT00285

The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the  
Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son  and Holy  Spirit.
The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are 
uppermost reminding them of their nations motto, 'In God We Trust.'

ATT00288

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the 
appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy  today.
There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning.


In the future, you'll see flags folded and now you will know why.
Share  this with the children you love and all others who love what is 
referred  to, the symbol of ' Liberty and Freedom.'

ATT00291

MAYBE  THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD READ THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE THEY RENDER THEIR  DECISION ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.  FORWARD  IT; MAYBE SOMEONE WITH THE NECESSARY POWER, OR POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL INFLUENCE, WILL GET IT TO THEM.


IN  THE MEANTIME, MAY GOD PROTECT US ALWAYS.

ONE  NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND  JUSTICE FOR ALL.
