What a wonderful time you had. Don't you feel pity for the hippies? I do. They're so misguided.
I'm glad you were there - what a thrill! I had the chance to go but my husband couldn't and I did want to be there without him. I was there in spirit!
Our FINEST moment of the festivities was the National Prayer Service on Friday. Our daughter teaches at St Alban's School on the grounds of the National Cathedral and was able to get us staff tickets. We arrived early and secured balcony seats under the HUGE stained glass window above the front entrance. We were "front row center" for the entire event. Although we were quite a distance from the speakers, our vantage point allowed us a clear view, without being blocked by the heads of dozens of rows in front of us. We even had a chance to talk briefly with John Ashcroft as we exited the cathedral at the conclusion of the service. What an honor to hear Billy Graham open the service and what can I say about the singing... WOW! What an awesome God we serve!
