"Americans do not turn away from duties because they are hard."

 

"We go forward with confidence because we trust in the power of human freedom to change lives and nations."

 

What an insult to see Danny Glover's face following the President!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Thank you for transcribing those quotes. They will come in handy!

[BigWaveBetty]

Thank you for all the quotes!

[MaeWest]

On that September morning threats that had gathered for years.....

Just have to repeat that....it can't be overemphasized.

[MaeWest]

Fabuous quotes! Thanks!

[habs4ever]

These lines show the WH has really been waiting just for the right moment to unleash Bush.I think the next time he says something like this will be in an address to the nation announcing the bombs are falling...

It's very close....

Here’s the email from the World Prayer Center received on Tuesday:

Subject: RE: URGENT CALL FOR 03-03-03 TO BE A "WORLDWIDE DAY OF PRAYER"

Dear World Prayer Team Member,

The World Prayer Center is calling all Christians worldwide to a Worldwide Day of Prayer on Monday, March 3, 2003.

Ted Haggard, President of The World Prayer Team, says his office has been flooded with messages from people all over the world saying that God is impressing upon them to prepare to pray on 03-03-03. "These believers do not know one another, nor are they connected to one another. They do not know that the others are saying the same thing. Clearly, the Holy Spirit is speaking to His church, and He is calling His people to pray," says Haggard.

"As these reports began to come in, we sensed in our hearts that God wants us to promote a huge outpouring of prayer on this special date. Many believe there is significance to this date because of its numerical sequence (03-03-03) which reminds many Christians of the Trinity. Moreover, the Holy Spirit has highlighted Jeremiah 33:3 (again, three 3's) as our call to action, 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know,'" says Haggard.

The magnitude of this date is not lost on the non-Christian world as well. The Global Consciousness movement (New Age) has for years been planning a worldwide "Largest ever experiment into global consciousness" to take place on 03-03-03. Their effort is slated to begin at 3:33am (Figi local time), on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the 3rd millennium. It has gained widespread notoriety in New Age circles.

Should this not be enough to cause Christians to pray, the significance of 03-03-03 becomes even more pressing as America could launch a war with Iraq at about that very hour, against a leader, Saddam Hussein, who has only recently embraced Islam as a way of gaining support from the Islamic world. Such was not the case with the first Gulf War. According to the Islamic calendar, March 3, 2003 is the eve of the Islamic New Year (Islamic year 1424 begins March 4, 2003). It is also the last day of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, when pilgrims are encouraged to make a sacrifice (The Festival of Sacrifice or Eid al-Adha). The key verse in the Qu' Ran about this festival to take place this year on March 3, 2003 is, "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life or my death, are all of Allah…" This date therefore holds great significance to the Islamic world.

While all of this is beneath the radars of the secular news media, it is clear to many Christian leaders that the world is on the brink of a spiritual battle of monumental proportions.

The epicenter of this struggle is the Middle East-a battle is going on for Jerusalem and Babylon (Iraq), biblical centers of spiritual light and darkness.

The World Prayer Team therefore calls on all Christian churches and individuals to set aside at least 3 minutes to pray at 3:33 PM in their time zone on 03/03/03.

PRAYER FOCUS: Pray that the armies of heaven will push back the powers of darkness in the Middle East. Pray that Saddam Hussein will leave the country before war is required to remove him from power. Pray that a spiritual shield will contain hostilities within the Iraqi borders (if war cannot be avoided), such that it doesn't spill over to the entire Islamic world. Pray that weapons of mass destruction, if they are deployed on any side of the battle, will be powerless. Pray that this date, rather than being a focal point of darkness, will be overwhelmed by the Light of God through the worldwide prayers of His people.

PLEASE FORWARD this message to every person you know as soon as possible. 03-03-03 is just a few days away.

Close tag. Sorry. Danny Glover, in case anyone missed it, live in NY over the Feb.15th "peacenik" weekend:

"“Our right to dissent . . . has been hijacked by this administration of liars and murderers".

Mr. Glover then went to Brazil and called our CIC a racist and a murderer.

Our troops deserve better. WE deserve better.

Please call FoxNews and ask them to stop spitting on our flag by hiring MCI and their spokes-Frenchman.

You're very welcome! I'm not fast enough tonight....missed some if the best lines.

Still fuming about Danny Glover. Grrr! Why not put Susan Sarandon or Bill Clinton on following the President as well. (rant over)

[habs4ever]

Thanks so much, you're doing a bang up job here :-)

On that September morning threats that had gathered for years.....

I'll never understand how either of the co-presidents can rationalize their lack of responsiblity in the world exploding nine short months after the end of their reign.

[CheneyChick]

That is pretty interesting. Especially the New Age and Islamic ties. Didn't realize it was the last day of the Hajj. Thanks for posting.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

You are very welcome. After My2cents' prayer letter, my Danny Glover comments seem rather petty, though. (^;

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I have my Presidential Prayer Team sticker on the window of my front door. I display it proudly.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Madame President appreciates it very much.

Classy, Latvia. Thanks, Betty. We have some courageous world leaders. I sent a thank you to the leaders of Australia, Japan...and England, but didn't think of our brave "New Europe" allies. (^:

[habs4ever]

They have never been accountable for anything they did.Or if they were, it was after they changed the rules so they could always come out ahead.These clowns are a spoof of a bad Roman Emperor.

[lodwick]

03/03/03 has a nice ring to it, too.

I like it. Thanks.
