There is a small town in Vermont that is making headline news across the country. Apparently a grade school is making its children that want to say the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE leave their classrooms and go to the gym so the children that don't want to say it do not have to hear, ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Parents are upset on both sides of the coin.
Personally I like the idea that this controversy has brought the school as a whole together as an assembly into the gym or even outdoors to say the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. In my mind its message rings with such strength seeing those young children lift their heads, hands and voices in unison to the sky. Perhaps this was God's idea, his simple twist of fate, the non-God lovers wish not to hear ONE NATION UNDER GOD, so instead the heavens hear a joyous rendition of the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE by the those intended to state the words, the young Americans who will one day continue on with the traditions of this great country.

I am so affraid that if we forget and blow off OUR PLEDGE what will our future leaders of America REALLY believe in? Our Nation was built on our believe in God and Country so if they dont want to hear the Pledge then maybe it is they that should leave the room!! It is they that should feel the odd man out instead of making other children feel "different" for participating!
I pray (and probably a bad choice of words) that we never lose sight of why we say those words.
