A DAY IN THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT BUSH (PHOTOS): 3.10.04

This one's funny in its perspective.

Much better perspective!

That's all for now.

How's it going, sweetie?

I'm great, thanks for asking! (A little overwhelmed with homework but it'll all get done.) How are you?

I thank you sincerely for your prayers. I appreciate them fully.

Psalm 50

¹ The Mighty One, God the LORD,
        Has spoken and called the earth
        From the rising of the sun to its going down.
       ²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
        God will shine forth.
       ³Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
        A fire shall devour before Him,
        And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

       ⁴He shall call to the heavens from above,
        And to the earth, that He may judge His people:
       ⁵"Gather My saints together to Me,
        Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."
       ⁶Let the heavens declare His righteousness,
        For God Himself is Judge. Selah

       ⁷"Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
        O Israel, and I will testify against you;
        I am God, your God!
       ⁸I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices
        Or your burnt offerings,
        Which are continually before Me.
       ⁹I will not take a bull from your house,
        Nor goats out of your folds.
       ¹⁰For every beast of the forest is Mine,
        And the cattle on a thousand hills.
       ¹¹I know all the birds of the mountains,
        And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

       ¹²"If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
        For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
       ¹³Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
        Or drink the blood of goats?
       ¹⁴Offer to God thanksgiving,
        And pay your vows to the Most High.
       ¹⁵Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
        I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."

       ¹⁶But to the wicked God says:
        "What right have you to declare My statutes,
        Or take My covenant in your mouth,
       ¹⁷Seeing you hate instruction
        And cast My words behind you?
       ¹⁸When you saw a thief, you consented with him,
        And have been a partaker with adulterers.
       ¹⁹You give your mouth to evil,
        And your tongue frames deceit.
       ²⁰You sit and speak against your brother;
        You slander your own mother's son.
       ²¹These things you have done, and I kept silent;
        You thought that I was altogether like you;
        But I will rebuke you,
        And set them in order before your eyes.

       ²²"Now consider this, you who forget God,
        Lest I tear you in pieces,
        And there be none to deliver:
       ²³Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
        And to him who orders his conduct aright
        I will show the salvation of God."

Good evening!

I bet the president can't wait to have grand children

I won't quote the article and sully this thread, but here http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040311/D817SEH00.html ("Kerry Comment Riles Bush Campaign") lies evidence that the dem candidate has lost his mind (first paragraph).

Enjoy your studies. You'll find it all enriches you later in life.

I've forgotten what you're majoring in.

That is not possible as he did not have a mind to lose to begin with.

I'm double majoring in psychology and religion. Religion, of course, is known to be one of the hardest majors at this school and I have no idea why I'm putting myself through this torture when I'm not actually doing anything with it.

Any idea what contribution you want to make with your life or how you want to support yourself? Sometimes they aren't the same thing. One becomes a passion/hobby, and the other the bread and butter.

Hi....Gretchen....thanks for the great pics...especially in the midst of trying to figure out what's "buggin" you.....LOL....SURE hope you feel better right NOW!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh -- the President never looks happier than when he is holding a baby . . . he's going to make an AWESOME grand-daddy someday!!!!

[Reminds me of a comment he made to a group of us at a Cincy fundraiser. Responding to a grandmother who had asked him to sign a picture of her first grandbaby, he stated unequivocally that he couldn't wait until he too had a grandbaby; in fact, he wants MANY grandbabies . . . he plans to spoil them rotten!!!

It was incredible; we all just chatted with him as though we had known him all our lives -- he's such a genuinely warm, caring human being!!]

Thanks for the dose Gretchen :^)

I love these pictures of our President!!! He has a look of confidence, peace and He knows where he is going with this nation!

Get better! We had a bout of 8 weeks! We are better now. We are walking agin (2 miles) everyday!

There is a great difference in the way W acts when picking up and holding a young child or baby. He looks at them. He interacts with them. He treats them as if they are as important as any (voting) adult. He cherishes that life.

OTOH, the dem (and even some other pubbie) candidates often seem or are awkward with tykes. They pick them up and they hold them but they are distant from the child. The babe looks most of the time like what it is to the other politicians: just a prop.

Hello, doodle, and thank you for your exhortation. Glad you're doing better.

Liberty V, hi to you and you're welcome!
