In July’s newsletter (and below) are the words to Johnny Cash’s song, RAGGED OLD FLAG.  What an amazing song giving tribute to our soldiers and allegiance to the freedom our flag stands for.  The title and message of Cash’s song takes my heart back to the precious hymn, THE OLD RUGGED CROSS. Its lyrics and message of freedom that the cross stands for, gives tribute and allegiance to the One who sacrificed His life for our eternity. But we must each choose to believe in Jesus and accept His gift.  John 3:16 After you read the lyrics (or sing the hymn) you can click HERE to read the history of George Bennard, the man who wrote the lyrics.
