This is one of my photos of the U S flag I photographed on walkabout to remind all I am U S citizen and have all Constitutional protections including the first amendment.
This is one of my Christian crosses to remind all that I am raised Southern Baptist, born again Christian believer and that I adhere to the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of GOD. This SELFIE of my hand is as it looks this year 2015. That necklace is of type of Southern Baptist/Great Commission Baptist Church, which adheres closely to Holy Bible. I do not make nor worship images of GOD, nor of idols.
That is my left hand as it looks this year since this photograph is recent selfie in past 2-3 months. If you want to know what I believe about JESUS you can read some of it on another blog of mine at:
