I'm so happy to see Michael didn't have to take a cab to the cathedral.

LOL, yeah it was great to see him leading the pack today.

Just think..for the majority of the Dems in attendance, it's probably the first time they've been in a church since 9/11..

[SevenofNine]

Kushner's reading from Isaiah.
Isa 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Oh, the Rabbi just read, Isaiah 40:28-31. One of my favorites.

Yea.... I'm in a band that has written a song using that text as the lyrics.

[Terriergal]

Oh man - I love the sound of a good boys choir.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Choir singing "Jerusalem."

bump to mark passage

Why do I get the weird feeling that Ronny Jr. distastes anything having to do with the mention of Christ. He seems uncomfortable when Christ is mentioned.

[Not A Snowbird]

I love this song the choir is doing.

[mtbopfuyn]

I haven't set foot inside a hair salon in 20 years but after having to look at Patti this week I'm thinking perhaps it's time.

[Terriergal]

argh, there's girls in there.

[prairiebreeze]

Gorgeous choir including the children. Ron Reagan would have loved this.

The Episcopal Bishop who said the prayer before the casket entered the Cathedral was vehimently anti-war and anti-Reagan. But officiating nonetheless. It was unnecessary, IMHO.

[JFC]

God approves...

[clintonh8r]

No, not at a funeral. I didn't understand that that was the point.

[ken5050]

..understand...and remember, my friend, and pity me..there are Episcopalians, andthen there are EPISCOPALIANS...our schism is coming soon...

Just joining this thread - is it just me or does the camera always seem to make a point of cutting Michael out of the picture? We see Ron & Patty with nancy all of the time, but they always seem to put Michael just off-camera.
