This simple picture has three main things in it.

All three of them are extremely important to me.

The American Flag - My Country, One nation under God;

The Indiana Flag - My Beloved Home, endless seas of fields and trees;

My Graduation Mug - A monument to the past, a cup full of memories;

All three of these things are a big part of who I am.  As I look at them, all of my memories flow through my mind, all that I know flashes before my eyes.  It's amazing how such simple looking things can contain so much memories - so many pieces of us inside of them.

So many people desecrate the flag of our country and say it is no big problem - "It's just a piece of cloth."  It is so much more than that.  Old Glory has seen a lot over the past 200 years.  She has heard the screams of the dying and seen the horrors of war, terror, and riots.  Yet, she still endures.  She waves as freely in the sky like those who she represents.

My States Flag - the flaming torch and the stars, with the blue background.  A perfect representation of our beautiful state.  I know this probably isn't the really reason for the symbols on this flag, but it's what it means to me - The blue background represents the beautiful sky one can see if they look up on a sunny spring day.  The Stars remind me of staring up in amazement at the clear midnight sky, full of brightly shinning stars.   The torch, the flame that reminds me that there is always a flicker of hope.  That flicker of hope is Jesus Christ.

My Mug means so much to me.  My past - and although I am still young and got a lot of growing to do still, so much has already happened.  My memories of high school, my memories of home.  Of all that I have done.  Life.
