With the President and First Lady on vacation in Crawford, there are no new photos. So today's theme is "President and Mrs. Bush and children."

"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36

When we lose our humanity, we lose everything. When we cannot even pray for the souls of dead babies and small children -- any children -- we have lost our humanity.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: This great President has not lost his humanity even through some of the darkest days our nation has ever faced. This man breathes life into Jesus' adminonition to "suffer the little children to come unto me..." Jesus did not say "suffer SOME children to come unto me," nor have George W. Bush and his beloved Laura ever turned away from a child on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion, sex, politics, enemity with jihadist adults, or any other reason.

Now to today's theme: President and Mrs. Bush with children,

Through the years on the Dose, we have seen hundreds of photos of the President and First Lady with children, but no photo more powerfully speaks to his deep concern for children than this: So as not to frighten the kids, a stunned President Bush remains in the classroom to collect himself shortly after White House Chief of Staff Andy Card notified him that a second plane has struck the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

And we've seen few more touching photos than these of Jewish and Islamic children with our President.

President Bush watches as Daniella Wald, 12, lights one of the candles on the Menorah Wednesday, Dec 4 in the White House. President Bush presented one of the lighted candles to Daniella Wald, who lit the first three candles, and she presented the lighter candle to her sister, Alexandra Wald, 15, who lit the other three. Both of the girls are from Manhattan, and their father, Victor Wald, was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

He has signed more legislation to benefit and protect children than any president in recent memory.

President Bush talks to Solveig Haugen, her twin sister Liv and their younger brother Tad, after the signing of the Dot Kids Implementation and Efficiency Act of 2002 in the Roosevelt Room, Dec 4. The Haugen family of Loudoun County, Virginia is one family that will benefit from the act. The bill creates a second level Internet domain (kids.us), within the United States country code, that will provide a safe online environment for children ages 13 and under.
