SPECIAL EDITION
The President addressed the nation this evening, and once again assured the American public and the world that it is our intention to bring the 'evil-doers' to justice. He also reassured the citizens of the United States that their government is doing everything within its power to track down any leads regarding possible terrorist activiy in the US. Bush also announced a new initiative for the nation's children to help the children of Afghanistan. Children can send one dollar to the White House and that money, via the Red Cross, will go toward helping the children of Afghanistan. Earlier in the day, the President attended a memorial service for those whose lives were lost at the Pentagon one month ago. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Chorus:
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watchfires
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar
In the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Chorus
I have read a fiery gospel writ
In burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with My contemners,
So with you My grace shall deal":
Let the Hero born of woman
Crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Chorus
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgement seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him;
Be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom
That transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free;
While God is marching on.
Chorus
I wanted to throw in a humorous caption...grin...
Here's my take on the Prez's thoughts...
I didn't have an opportunity to watch the Memorial Service live today (although I did get to hear a little bit of President Bush's speech on the radio.)
I just finished watching the replay on C-Span. WOW - I cannot quit crying. All the emotions from 9/11 came back to me - and since I had seen the pictures of President Bush on this thread first - before actually watching the service - well - what can I say.
We are so fortunate to have him as our President.

I love that my husband, who is so easy going and funny, chokes up when discussing things of the Lord. Some people can't tell, but when I hear hear him swallow two or three times in between words, I know what's going on. I love that he has such a tender heart for Jesus and is so responsive to the Holy Spirit...same with the president.
The Islamic extremists think God is on their side, but they failed to realize how many people in this country prayed and made contrition promises and tried to turn themselves back to God while begging God to let us have George W. Bush for our President.
Did I really see the Democrat Senators (including Hillary) all lined up this morning praying to God? The ACLU must be having a seizure.
Damn! I don't think I ever noticed how friggin HOT Laura Bush is.
BTW, another thread was stating that W looked "worried", like he had just heard some "terrible warning" right before his press conference. I didn't see it so I don't know. Is this true?
Matthew 6: 16-18
I'm going to duplicate it and take it to the Fresno FReep of the peaceniks tomorrow.
It is an historic photo. It will be part of the legend. It will symbolize President Bush walking into history.
LOL Actually, I think I am guilty here. While what I posted in quotes was verbatim, my preface to it was not. Maybe I unconsciously exaggered Dr. Laura's "lesser of two evils" statement. I believe what she said was much milder.
But you bring up an interesting point. I'm not a fan of any Aunt Agony shows, and only listen occasionally because our local radio programing is DULLSVILLE in that time slot. Do you feel Dr. Laura is abdicating her stance on morality because of criticism? I'd value your opinion.
