When was the last time any one of us has said the pledge in our own home? Not ball games, etc. In your home. How determined we are regarding our views of the pledge, prayer, Bible classes, etc. Great sounding boards and grandstanding, yet honestly, when was the last time you pledged out loud in the privacy of your homes?

I logged on here saying it should be mandatory, also support the legislation regarding Bible Education going on in Nashville now, but then I said you fool. You have 5 grandchildren, when was the last time you said the pledge with them. You fool. How much dust is on your Bible yet you sent 25 emails this week supporting the proposed law to allow Bible Classes in the classroom.

Sure I have a flag in the front yard and a modge podge of different colored ribbons to show my support for country and causes...Keywords: to show.

All this violence in the schools that has overwhelmed the newscasts the last few weeks....lack of respect between neighbors, all the fights and violence.

We need to wakeup and say the pledge before we banish this child from our society, get the dust off our Bibles before we proclaim the need for legalized school Bible teaching, maybe we can change our communities which we have neglected : homeward out. :)

Sometimes we debate so much that the obvious isn't seen. The fix begins with us. God forgive us for our basic neglect.
