- The Meaning Behind the 13 Folds of the American Flag | awalkingnewman
BACK Thirteen Folds Patriotic Literature Amidst the rolling green expanse of the National Mall, families gather—a living testament to the enduring ties that bind generations, anchored in a love that transcends race and outward appearances. This love, intertwined with life, family, and patriotic allegiance, is enveloped in faith. For those who sacrificed their lives, their shared blood was a vibrant red, a testament to their passion to defend their country and their willing hearts. They now find tranquility and solace in the celestial rest of white, while we, the living, dwell under the divine canopy of heavenly blue. Like the flag with its multitude of stars, let us cling to life and proliferate, so we may partake in and reap the joy it offers. As Christ once proclaimed in John 15:13 , “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” Through the sacrifice of the fallen, we honor them in our memories, keeping their heroic deeds alive through our actions, our way of life, and the continuity of generations. For those who gave their lives, let us live. For there are those who are now willing to give theirs, like a father for his family and the mother who stands by him in all he does. The veteran sailor can walk his snow-white dog across the grassy field, beneath the towering silhouette of the Washington Monument, a tribute to General George Washington. In this world, the soldiers - Coast Guard and Army can traverse the same green field in their twilight years, free from the haunting specter of war. They uphold the tradition of all, as their descendants partake in the Memorial Day observance for the fallen. On this day, we remember not only the military personnel who have given their lives, but also the enduring spirit of the nation and the resilience of the families that constitute it. The Air Force father, once soaring the skies, can sit in the comforting embrace of his Marine wife, together savoring the freedom, as their elected leader soars above in his steel wings, and above all, the Lord God reigns in the heavens. As they nurture their young, they prepare for a future where the cosmos will be his domain. In the fluttering of the flag, we stand tall, and in its 13 folds, we acknowledge: 1. The sanctity of Life 2. The promise of Eternal Life 3. The dedication of Veterans 4. Our Weaker Nature 5. Our love for Country 6. The strength of the Heart 7. The valor of the Armed Forces 8. Our Tribute to the Departed 9. The grace of Womanhood 10. The responsibility of Fatherhood 11. The contributions of Hebrew Citizens 12. The faith of Christian Citizens 13. The Nation’s Honor Echoing Stephen Decatur’s words, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong.” The ceremonial folding of the American flag is a revered tradition in the U.S. military, steeped in symbolism and respect. Each of the thirteen folds carries a unique significance, representing distinct values and principles. Let’s delve into the profound meanings embodied in each fold: Life : The first fold is a symbol of life. Eternal Life : The second fold signifies belief in eternal life. Veterans : The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world. Weaker Nature : The fourth fold represents the weaker nature of citizens, trusting in God for divine guidance. Country : The fifth fold is a tribute to the country, echoing Stephen Decatur’s words, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong.” Heart : The sixth fold is where the heart lies, in allegiance to the flag and the republic it stands for. Armed Forces : The seventh fold is a tribute to the armed forces, protecting the country and the flag against all enemies. Tribute to the Departed : The eighth fold is a tribute to those who entered the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mothers. Womanhood : The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for their faith, love, loyalty, and devotion that has molded the nation’s character. Fatherhood : The tenth fold is a tribute to fathers who have given their children for the defense of the country. Hebrew Citizens : The eleventh fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Christian Citizens : The twelfth fold, in the eyes of Christian citizens, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Nation’s Honor : The thirteenth and final fold, when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of the nation’s motto, “In God We Trust.” ______________ ______________________ 🎨PSW·3✒© For Group discussions, check the group pages Or the art gallery for more artworks.

- Calmness for a change | Awalkingnewman.com
Calmness for a change Miscellaneous Writings Calmness for uncomfortableness, for a change. The awareness of that which is an inconvenience to us, will serve two outcomes. To the burden of difficulties without hope, the reason for a change is absent, but when we are aware of the inconvenience of life, or the situation wherewith, we find ourselves, may it be a reminder that we were once without the problem. Therefore, we can once again be free of the problem. In calmness, hope is established, therein, the mind is free to reason for a change. If we walk into a dark room, the first reaction is to desire the light for a change to the present situation. With a clear mind, we reach out calmly by seeking the switch for the light. On the contrary, if the darkness stirs up agitation, like it does in a child who is afraid of the dark, though the switch for the light is present, but with the absent of calmness, the child cannot perceive the possibility to turn on the light for a change. In dark times, may we stay calm that the mind will clearly reason that there is a way for a change, and there is a light. May the calmness in us be a hope that Christ our Light is there. Though we do not see through the dark, but thus it is written; Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you today. In the sea of life, hope is the compass that wings above the storm of life. ____________________________________ 🎨PSW·3✒© #Calmness MORE Share

Amerihollow Little Tommy and Jack his father the story teller, walk through the Badlands in hurry to their outskirt settlement as the sun set in the northwest. The shadows of the boy and the men grew behind them as the curiosity rise within Little Tommy. He firmly held to his father’s hand. Why is it the Badlands the boy asks his father, does not good prevail, bad, is there hope for the Badlands to ever be a good land again? Jack was one of the many who dwell on the outskirt of the Badlands, by shuffling through the waste of what was once a land of hope, they piece together scraps for a hope for another day. Though the land stood in silence, but the past of its greatness could be heard in its failed structures. The roads that once brought together civilization and people now serve as the display of man’s failed idea, partly covered in the course of nature. At least the failures of the past and nature did come together, displaying man's broken ingenuity. Cover in green grass and vegetation with the rise of the earth from beneath the feet, soiling the concrete that once lay below the fast-moving feet of the inspired people of the land. Indeed, fast were they and their desire for a change and impatient for a result to a change. As little Tommy continues to tug on his father’s hand, Jack snaps out of his thoughts. Gently pulling the boy by his side, he replied; son, when equality is no longer served by justice, moral lose its course among the people. Without fairness, unreasonable ordeals lead to the demise of a land. Looking up at his father, little Tommy curiously asks again, what does this means? With a gaze in his eyes and love for his son. Jack firmly held to the child’s hand. Son, when people dispute because of their indifference, without addressing the reason for the many indifference, they engage in a battle without an objective. They struggle to overpower one another. This was Jack way of saying to the boy, we have lost it all. Amerihollow One might conceive defeat based on life’s condition due to a certain situation. Nevertheless, the moral fiber of life will serve as a perseverance and a compass to that which is right. Regardless of life’s position. Doing that which is right will exalt all people, but the compromise of good for evil is a reproach to all people. Jack and Tommy shuffled through the badlands, scavenging whatsoever they see fit to take home, but the lack of findings on this day open an opportunity for discussions between the boy and the man. Questions and answers, learning and reflecting. Due to the lack of finds on this trip, Jack decided to take a path, a path the dwellers of the outskirt forbid to tread thereon. As his hesitation causes his steps to gradually slow, he found himself trailing his son’s steps. As curiosity grew within the child, Tommy pulls onto his father’s hand, looking ahead, he took the lead in the walk. In the distance was something massive from the boy’s perspective. Grand, but hideous, notable but hallow. end of sample stay tuned Members log in, click the star below.

- Little is much when God is in it | awalkingnewman
Little Is Much When God Is In It 00:00 / 04:17 There’s a crown, and you can win it, if you go in Jesus’ name In the harvest field now ripened There's a work for all to do; Hark! the Master's voice is calling, To the harvest calling you. Little is much when God is in it! Labor not for wealth or fame; There's a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus' name. Does the place you're called to labor Seem so small and little known? It is great if God is in it, And He won’t forget His own. One day when the conflict here is ended And our race on earth is run, He will say, to the faithful, "Welcome home, My child—well done!" Little is much when God is in it! Labor not for wealth or fame; There's a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus' name. Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9 MORE Kittie L. Suffield #songs

- Freedom from within | Awalkingnewman.com
Miscellaneous Writings Freedom from within To undo in life is to move forward with wisdom Share Most restrictions, constraints, limitation, bonds and the absence of freedom experienced by men, isn’t a physical problem. However, from within the mind, the physical body is trapped. The mind is what make us free as humans. Yet, it is the most powerful element of keeping a person bind when he or she intransigently refuses to accept another alternative, to a cause of liberation. Jesus said, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The phrase, and the truth shall make you free, this means “to go where one wishes and so free.” Although freedom is laid at the feet for many, nevertheless, they are too engrossed in the constant reminder as to why they want to be free. Perhaps, a situation or an event that enslaved them. This has become their focus rather than the freedom that awaits them. They have emerged themselves in the reason for their constraints, while blindly ignoring the freedom that they need. Let the mind that is bound ask itself, what do I need, freedom? The many reasons of the past, for the absence of freedom, isn’t the path to freedom. Though it may serve as a reminder, but a reminder only points to a goal. One cannot set an alarm clock, and when it rings, only to stare at it. Instead, they proceed to the reason for the alarm which is the goal. In this case, the freedom of the mind is that goal and not the many reasons of the past, for the absence of freedom. The freedom for tomorrow is now to receive. To undo in life is to move forward with wisdom. The fear or the reverence of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Jesus said, come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Let the heart sing with melody, the joy of praises by faith to the Lord . . . Search me, oh God, and know my heart today. Try me, oh precious Saviour, know my thought I pray. See if there would be some wicked, wicked ways in me. Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.

- What is the Bronze Serpent? | Awalkingnewman
Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The greatness of the Word of God is its integrity, by which it is without error nor deception. If contradictions arise, it is the reader’s lack of perception. So then, let it be an opportunity to gain a better insight. The passages below are some of that which we avert, for the lack of understanding, but with a willing mind, they shall be made known. The bronze serpent All through Christianity, and the world in par, the serpent has been a type of enmity toward men, and men contempt through fear toward the serpent. For some, it represent danger, while for others, its slyness is the embodiment of evil. Be that as it may, the serpent isn't a dove among people of faith, therefore, it is castout. All through the Scriptures, the mention in reference to this creature has been primarily of negative implications. It was used as a tool of Satan to deceive man in the beginning, even Satan is called that old serpent. With these and more, the image of the serpent isn’t that which is holy, but the contrary. However, the topic of this exposition is the bronze serpent. Taken from the fourth book of the Bible, the book of Numbers , therewith we read, the LORD said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole . . . And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole . . . those that look upon it shall, live. So then, the question arises in the mind of the reader. What is this serpent that Moses made, and why would this creature of enmity be used as a focus of life? For the Lord said, in the beginning, I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. (Genesis 3:15) For the understanding of many Scriptures, the reader must read the account as a whole, by understanding that which perceive the passage of interest, and that which comes thereafter. In this case, the preceding record must first be understood. Through the exposition, we will better understand the meaning thereof, and how it relates to us today. The time of our text is the Exodus from Egypt , by the children of Israel , from slavery to freedom . The place of the text is from Mount Hor , to Arabah – A word meaning (burnt up) the location indicates a deep-sunken valley, or trench. Therewith, their journey continues, from the mountain, symbolic of victory, now they found themselves in the valley of depression. How we perceive situations in life, will determine the outcome of our days in the valley to a height of success. Before descending the path of Arabah, Israel had won a battle against the king of Arad , who Instigate a war against them. Despite being "free slaves," the Lord gives them the victory against all odds. As they were now faced with new opposition from their surroundings, they no longer remember the testimony of their victory. Instead, like most Christians today, their focus is on the problems, rather than the solution which is God. And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul hates this light bread. And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died. (Numbers 21:5-6) The text reads, and Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people. Not as though it was the desire of the Lord, but in reality, we live in a perilous world. The protection of the Lord is our shield from the danger thereof. By faith and gratitude, we abide under the shadow of His protection. When gratitude is replaced with ungratefulness for the lack of praise, faith shall be overshadowed with unbelief. Through unbelief, the individual will backslide from God’s provision and protection, thereby exposing themselves to the danger of this world and the fiery serpents. The people came to Moses, and said, we have sinned , for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that He take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent , and set it upon a pole : and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten , when he looks upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass , and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld (look at) the serpent of brass, he lived . (Numbers 21:7-9) The question still arises, knowing the serpent is the symbol of a curse and herein it is the result of sin, so then how, or why did it serve as the focus of life to the sinners? To further understand this is to get an insight to the core of Christianity, which is the Cross of Christ . The reason for the Cross of Christ was for the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ in place of sinful humanity. The wages of sin is death, but Christ as the Gift of God, He died on the Cross for our sins. Therewith He took the sin of the world upon Himself. He paid the penalty of sin that we may live a life without the suffering, pain and the condemnation of sin. He became a sin sacrifice that He may break the curse of sin . Thus, it is written, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangs on a tree. (Galatians 3:13) Before Christ could hang on a tree (The Cross) for our sins, God instructed Moses to construct a bronze serpent , which typify the curse of sin and suffering. The LORD said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, he shall live. In essence, those in the wilderness who looks to the bronze serpent were looking with hope for the future Messiah. Since it was sin that causes men to die, men must now look at the sin in which Christ has taken upon Himself that men may live. The look spoken of here is to direct one's attention in hopeful expectation to live. Such is the Cross of Christ. Before the Cross of Christ, man looks to the future through a symbolic representation , such was the bronze serpent . Bronze typifies judgment , Christ took our judgment upon Himself on the Cross. The serpent typifies a curse , Christ became a curse on the Cross that we may be free from the penalty of the curse . At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (Christ) be lifted up: (John 3:14) The lifted up here, speaks of the Cross. As He was nailed to the Cross, the debt we owed was nailed and never to be recorded against us. He was lifted up between Heaven and Earth with His arms open, as a mediator between God and man. For He said, if I be lifted up (The Cross) I will draw all men unto me. In life's battle, may we lift up the Lord as our banner. Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-Nissi , meaning the Lord is our banner. Though He hung on the Cross as a sin sacrifice, but through sacrifice, He became life to all who will believe. Those who came before us, they look at symbols and types representing the Cross of Christ, such as the bronze serpent on a pole. Today, may we look to Calvary Cross, the focus of where sin demand was paid . No longer we face the fiery serpents , but real are the fiery dots against our faith. Therefore, take the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. In the lyrics of G. T. Haywood , we sing: On Cal'vry's hill of sorrow Where sin's demands were paid, And rays of hope for tomorrow Across our path were laid. I see a crimson stream of blood, It flows from Calvary, Its waves which reach the throne of God, Are sweeping over me. Today no condemnation Abides to turn away My soul from His salvation, He's in my heart to stay. When gloom and sadness whisper, "You've sinned—no use to pray, " I look away to Jesus, And He tells me to say: I see a crimson stream of blood The Cross of Christ, the place the wandering afflicted soul of men may rest and live. The only place God will meet with men, for it was sin that separates man from God, and at the Cross, sin demand was paid, at the Cross we abide. _____ Blotting out the handwriting in the ordinances against us, which was contrary to us, even He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross; having stripped the rulers and the authorities, (Satan and his henchmen) He made a show of them in public, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:14-15) __________________________________ 🎨PSW·3✒© > Related topics < Share

- A prayer for pardon and protection | Awalkingnewman.com
Miscellaneous Writings A prayer for pardon and protection Share A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me, Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause. Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. Good and upright is the LORD: therefore, will He teach sinners in the way. The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall He teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and He will show them His covenant. My eyes are ever towards the LORD; for He will pluck my feet out of the net. Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. (Psalms 25:1-22) Summary and Exposition David, the psalmist of the 25th Psalms, in type represents the believer of today. In great distress, may we call upon God with all urgency. Let us pray for pardon, knowing by faith we will be heard. In times of pressures or depression, if the mind is aware of its state of depression, let the same mind reason to look to the Lord. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. When the burdens of this world are the weight to bear, the mind is cutoff from the reality of living. Wherewith it is in a place of despair and hopelessness, there, it excuses itself by shutting the windows to its opening. If sorrow is the reason, let joy be the solution to open the mind from a dark place of misery. This joy , is the recognition that there is hope, to thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul, I trust in thee . Such call is the believer calling from his or her place of dark misery, and the Lord shall hear and open the windows of the mind with the radiance of hope. In times of unhappiness shall we wait to be happy before we call on to the Lord for His deliverance? Certainly not, a patient need not the treatment of a physician when he is well. Instead, in his illness, he reaches out to the physician. So then, may we call out to the Lord our Great Physician , in the time of need. O LORD, do I lift up my soul. I have gone astray, for my doing, but now, O Lord, by your mercy, show me thy ways; teach me thy paths. I have sinned, through inconsiderateness, and the heat of passion, but according to your mercy; remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Give me, O Lord, an abundant pardon . Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. We are our own enemy when we fail to do that which is right, despite knowing the wrong, but for the lust of the flesh, we yield to the wrongdoing. Nevertheless, my enemies are not standing with me, in hope of your mercy, so I stand alone in your presence. Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on You, Lord. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. Israel represents the whole house of God. Though David, the representation of the believer seeking the face of the Lord through prayer, praises and meditation, for pardon and protection, while taking full responsibility for his action; thereby willing to face the consequence. However, when he is aware that his prayers are heard, and the blessings, and mercy of the Lord is about to be poured out in favor, David now includes all the house of God to be a recipient of God’s blessing. How beautiful, this is the true representation of a leader and a man or woman of God. Twelve Requests of David (or the believer) to God 1 . Let me not be ashamed 2 . Let not mine enemies triumph. 3 . Let none who pray be ashamed 4 . Let sinners be ashamed. 5 . Show me Your ways 6 . Teach me Your paths. 7 . Lead me into truth 8 . Teach me truth. 9 . Remember Your mercies 10 . Remember Your loving kindness. 11 . Remember not my youthful sins 12 . Remember for Your goodness’ sake. Prayers Writings awalkingnewman.com REQUEST A PRAYER
