Quote of the Day: Laura and I also want to -- at least I want to tell you, on behalf of Laura, that we really appreciate your prayers, the prayers of our Baptist friends that have sustained us and uplifted us. I cannot tell you the number of times Americans have said to me, "Mr. President, I pray for you and your family." And I tell them the same thing I'm telling you now -- that is the greatest gift anyone can give to me and Laura, and thank you for your prayers.

From the landing of the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, the men and women who founded this nation in freedom relied on prayer to protect and preserve it. In 1789, President George Washington called America's Baptists the "firm friends" of liberty. Today, another President George W. thanks you -- because more than two centuries later, you remain firm in your dedication to God and country.

You believe that the ideal of religious liberty is a free church in a free state. And you know that freedom is a divine gift that carries serious responsibilities. We are called by our Creator to use this gift of freedom to build a more compassionate society -- where families are strong, life is valued, and the poor and the sick can count on the love and help of their neighbors.

Building a more compassionate society starts with preserving the source of compassion -- the family. Strong families teach children to live moral lives and help us pass down the values that define a caring society. And Southern Baptists are practicing compassion by defending the family and the sacred institution of marriage. Because marriage is a sacred institution and the foundation of society, it should not be re-defined by local officials and activist judges. For the good of families, children, and society, I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage.

??? The gal in the back with the big purse doesn't look like she's admiring the roses, perhaps she thinks they are going to attack her. The guy closest to the camera does seem to think they're cool.

Many of the names on the prayer list have been there for over two years. Please review the list and notify me of changes via FReepmail so that I may update it and we can concentrate our prayers on those with current concerns. Thank you and God bless you!


Psalm 40

    1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
       he turned to me and heard my cry.

    2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
       out of the mud and mire;
       he set my feet on a rock
       and gave me a firm place to stand.

    3 He put a new song in my mouth,
       a hymn of praise to our God.
       Many will see and fear
       and put their trust in the LORD.

    4 Blessed is the man
       who makes the LORD his trust,
       who does not look to the proud,
       to those who turn aside to false gods.
