You hit the nail on the head, well done. It is an amazing thing that somehow, perhaps guided by a greater power, the American people somehow always choose the right leaders who rise to greatness in times of great adversity. Look at President Lincoln ill educated and with no military experience. Lets hope we have done the same here.

Thanks for a great article.
I have often wondered about the significance of the title of Bush's campaign autobiography, A Charge to Keep. Forgive me if this has been pointed out before, but that is the title of a hymn by Charles Wesley, which is in the Methodist Hymnal.
I am told Karen Hughes was the actual writer of the book and I haven't read it, so I don't know if it explains the title. But your fine article seemed a good place to call to mind the hymn, which I have thought about a lot as I have watched the President rise to this crisis over the past few days.
1 A CHARGE to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky;
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil:
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will! 2 Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live;
And O thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
Somehow it seems to me to sound like GWB.

This is absolutely masterful! Your insight, and ability to put these profound truths in writing are awesome. Thank you for this!
I am in tears........tears of joy and thanksgiving that this man is God's appointed man for this dark hour in American history.

Your article is beautifully written! I emailed it to all my friends and family. I hope you send it to some newspapers and they print it for others to read too.
Reminds me of the man who slipped through security at the inauguration who shook the president's hand and gave him a coin of some type (don't remember the details). The man, a minister I believe, said God had a message to let Bush know that he was elected "for such a time as this" (from the book of Esther) and would use him (Bush) in a great way if he remained dependent upon the Lord. Those are the details as I remember them, anyway. This was reported on CBN and other TV stations at the time.
I do believe that President Bush has been placed in his position of power by God's hand. And I am ever grateful!
