ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS NOT FIGHTING TO END SLAVERY

President Abraham Lincoln wrote to Horace Greely that he was "fighting for the Union not to end slavery." In the same letter Lincoln stated that he would "gladly free some, none or all of the slaves in order to preserve the Union."

Even the ultra-liberal "black community" advocate Rev. Jessie Jackson admits this: "Lincoln went to war not to free the slaves but to preserve the union. The confederate flag is the symbol of those who wanted to break the union apart."

WHAT ABOUT THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION?

Didn't Lincoln free the slaves? The short answer is: NO!

First of all notice that the Emancipation Proclamation was a PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION and NOT an ACT OF CONGRESS. The Constitution of the United States delegates all LEGISLATIVE authority (the ability to pass a law) to CONGRESS - not to the President. At NO time was the Emancipation Proclamation LAW in the United States of America. Therefore NO slaves were legally freed by the United States during the time of the war of northern aggression.

The ONLY thing that the Emancipation Proclamation did was order "the Executive Government of the United States [Federal Agents], including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons." Or in other words, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves but did order Union soldiers and those persons who were employees of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government to treat Southern Blacks as though they were "free."

Also note that the Emancipation Proclamation did NOT free the Blacks who were owned as slaves in the North. the proclamation stated: "all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free . . . ' Or in other words the proclamation only "freed" slaves in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South-Carolina, North-Carolina, and Virginia (i.e. the Confederate states). States where Abraham Lincoln and his Federal Agents did not have jurisdiction

As for freeing the slaves in the States and territories of the Union where Lincoln did have jurisdiction? Lincoln said those areas were: "left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued." Or in other words, Lincoln said that the blacks who were owned as slaves in the northern states were STILL slaves. And they remained slaves for the entire duration of the war.

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS DIDN'T FIGHT TO PRESERVE SLAVERY

In his book: What They Fought For, 1861-1865, historian James McPherson reported on his reading of more than 25,000 letters and more than 100 diaries of soldiers who fought on both sides of the War for Southern Independence and concluded that Confederate soldiers (very few of whom owned slaves) "fought for liberty and independence from what they regarded as a tyrannical government."

Confederate General Robert E. Lee and most of the Confederate Generals who served under him did NOT own slaves.

Thursday’s Prayer

Take this from someone who knows as do most of you. It is so easy to get down and all caught up in circumstances. The Lord still expects us to Look to Him and have faith because He will work things out if our trust remains in Him and not on our own ability which sometimes can make a thing worse. Restore joy to those that desperately need Your touch Lord and we already know You are working in our behalf. In Jesus Name I pray, amen

Psalm 121:1-8
121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

I am the FLAG of the United States of America.
✯⋆★⋆✯✰✯⋆★⋆✯
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over great institutes of learning.
I stand guard with the greatest military power in the world.
Look up! And see me!

I stand for peace - honor - truth and justice.
I stand for freedom
I am confident - I am arrogant
I am proud.

When I am flown with my fellow banners
My head is a little higher
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one.

I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted - I am respected
I am revered - I am loved, and I am feared.

I have fought every battle of every war for more than 200 years:
Gettysburg, Shilo, Appomatox, San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome, the beaches of Normandy, the deserts of Africa, the cane fields of the Philippines,
the rice paddies and jungles of Guam, Okinawa, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Guadalcanal New Britain, Peleliu, and many more islands.
And a score of places long forgotten by all but those who were with me.

I was there.
I led my soldiers - I followed them.
I watched over them.
They loved me.

I was on a small hill in Iwo Jima.
I was dirty, battle-worn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me,
and I was proud.

America has been attacked by cowardly fanatics
And many lives have been lost
But those who would destroy me cannot win
For I am the symbol of freedom, of one nation
under God, indivisible
with liberty and justice for all.

I have been soiled, burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled, burned, torn and trampled on the streets of my OWN country, and when it is by those with whom I have served in battle - IT HURTS.

But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stand watch over the
uncharted new frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have been a silent witness to all of America's finest hours.

But my finest hour comes when I am torn into strips to
be used for bandages for my wounded comrades on the field of battle
When I fly at half mast to honor my soldiers,
And when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving
mother at the graveside of her fallen son.
I am proud.

My name is Old Glory.
Dear God - Long may I wave.
Poem by Howard Schnauber

Sullivan Mary - Troy Clerk

On 9/11/2001 sadly over 3,000 people were senselessly murdered and we were quick to say--and to post: 'Never Forgotten', and rightfully so. Nevertheless, over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ was brutally murdered, and how easily so many have forgotten. Why is it so easy to remember and to honor those who may have died among us, but yet so easy to forget the ONE who died FOR US? In our time of respectfully honoring--and not forgetting those who passed in 2001, let us also remember the ONE who died to take our place 2,000 years ago.

☆ Closed Doors Lead To Open Doors ☆

There are times in our lives,
We come to a closed door
It does not always mean that we
Have not heard from the Lord

It may only mean that God
Is changing how we get there,
To show to us a better way
That we were unaware

So don't see this as an end
To the outworking of God's will,
The thing that God has birthed in you,
He wants to see fulfilled

Just continue to trust in Him
And leave it in His hands,
He will work this whole thing out,
For it is what He has planned

And as we look back, we will see
How God had been our guide
And directed us along the path
Where doors stood open wide

So thank Him for these hard times,
The set backs we go through,
For it is God who is leading us
To make our dreams come true.

© By M.S.Lowndes

In Jesus Name I pray, amen.

Habakkuk 2:3 "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

"The Pickle Jar"
( A little long but worth the read )
The pickle jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom.
When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy, I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled.
I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar to admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate's treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.
When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck.
Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. 'Those coins are going to keep you out of the textile mill, son. You’re going to do better than me. This old mill town’s not going to hold you back.' Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. these are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill all his life like me.'
We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. When we get home, we’ll start filling the jar again.’ He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other. 'You'll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters,' he said. 'But you'll get there; I'll see to that.
No matter how rough things got at home, Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar. Even the summer when Dad got laid off from the mill, and Mama had to serve dried beans several times a week, not a single dime was taken from the jar.
To the contrary, as Dad looked across the table at me, pouring catsup over my beans to make them more palatable, he became more determined than ever to make a way out for me, when you finish college, Son, he told me, his eyes glistening, You'll never have to eat beans again - unless you want to.'
The years passed, and I finished college and took a job in another town. Once, while visiting my parents, I used the phone in their bedroom, and noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose and had been removed.
A lump rose in my throat as I stared at the spot beside the dresser where the jar had always stood. My dad was a man of few words: he never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance, and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done.
When I married, I told my wife Susan about the significant part the lowly pickle jar had played in my life as a boy. In my mind, it defined, more than anything else, how much my dad had loved me.
The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we spent the holiday with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns cuddling their first grandchild. Jessica began to whimper softly, and Susan took her from Dad’s arms. ‘She probably needs to be changed,’ she said, carrying the baby into my parents' bedroom to diaper her. When Susan came back into the living room, there was a strange mist in her eyes.
She handed Jessica back to Dad before taking my hand and leading me into the room. 'Look,' she said softly, her eyes directing me to a spot on the floor beside the dresser. To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins..
I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins. With a gamut of emotions choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw that Dad, carrying Jessica, had slipped quietly into the room. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotions I felt. Neither one of us could speak.
This truly touched my heart. Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life, for better or for worse.
God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for GOOD in others.
The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or touched - they must be felt with the heart ~ Helen Keller

~ copied: Today I slipped quietly into the darkened office and began reading through the letters we have received from the wives of the soldiers now serving in harm’s way around the world. In our last NGJ magazine, I asked the wives who have husbands now serving overseas to write to me, because we wanted to find ways to minister to them. It was just a project I felt would be helpful—until this morning. Now, it is a heart-rending mission. As I began to read the letters, tears filled my eyes and stained the letters until I could no longer see to read. Young mamas struggling to raise up sons without a daddy—many young wives becoming mamas for the first time—alone—because their men were shipped out to serve their country—a young mama with 11-month-old twins, a 22-month-old, and a baby due, with NO family to help her.
Now, as I glance down, my eye catches this note:“My name is Rosemary, and my husband is an Apache helicopter pilot. Please pray for him that the Lord would ease his heart. He misses his children terribly.”
Each year, we mail out over 1,500 packages to the men and women serving in harm's way overseas, away from their families. We also send packages to their families left behind. We have received many letters of thanks from the men and women, and even their children. They get a box of our best selling materials and a King James Bible.
