This is one of my photos of the U S flag I photographed on walkabout to remind all I am a U S citizen with all civil liberties including freedom of Press, freedom to worship THE LORD GOD, and freedom to associate with whomever I want or not to associate with those GOD labels "abomination" and freedom to protest governments.

| This is my hand on one of my christian cross necklaces in selfie from 2014 to remind all that I am Southern Baptist Christian and do not make nor worship images of GOD, and do not bow down to any idol or man-made thing in keeping with GOD's commandment in Exodus chapter 20. Also, my hand looks red because I was in strain trying to photograph my hand outstretched and keep camera still. I am a white woman, see selfies of me on other blogs of mine. 20:13, KJV. |
