Today President Bush made his first trip outside of Texas since beginning his ’working vacation’ at the beginning of the month. He traveled to Arizona with Secretary of Agriculture, Ann Veneman, to observe the fire damage from the Aspen wildfires, touring Inspiration Rock in Coronado National Forest near Summerhaven, and promoting the need for healthy forests, and the prevention of fire devastation through controlled thinning of forests and underbrush. Later he travelled to Denver, Colorado to participate in a fundraiser, calling the departure of Liberian President, Charles Taylor, a ’positive step,’ and introducing his nominee for EPA director, Utah Governor, Mike Leavitt. Enjoy your Daily Dose of Dubya!!

Yes, indeed, he IS looking good!

I'm doing OK, bentfeather.......still adjusting to the bad news that Eric's staying longer than we had hoped, but thankful that he is in God's loving, and protective hands......

Well .. it was interesting to say the least - and I'm ready for more - which has to be a good sign. We must have done a pretty good job because when Hil was on the Tonight Show, she talked about "those people across the street" which is where we were. Happy to know we bugged her.

Didn't see the helicopter (other side of town), but hubby saw Air Force One and took some tape. I haven't seen the footage yet.

Local ABC affiliate stuck non-stop with coverage and was the only channel to do so. The local CBS channel was talking too much about the previous occupant and his visit (ick) back in 1999 so I did not watch them anymore.

Psalm 104

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul!

        O LORD my God, You are very great:
        You are clothed with honor and majesty,
        2Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
        Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

        3He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
        Who makes the clouds His chariot,
        Who walks on the wings of the wind,
        4Who makes His angels spirits,
        His ministers a flame of fire.

        5You who laid the foundations of the earth,
        So that it should not be moved forever,
        6You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
        The waters stood above the mountains.
        7At Your rebuke they fled;
        At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
        8They went up over the mountains;
        They went down into the valleys,
        To the place which You founded for them.
        9You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
        That they may not return to cover the earth.

        10He sends the springs into the valleys;
        They flow among the hills.
        11They give drink to every beast of the field;
        The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
        12By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
        They sing among the branches.
        13He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
        The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

        14He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
        And vegetation for the service of man,
        That he may bring forth food from the earth,
        15And wine that makes glad the heart of man,
        Oil to make his face shine,
        And bread which strengthens man's heart.
        16The trees of the LORD are full of sap,
        The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
        17Where the birds make their nests;
        The stork has her home in the fir trees.
        18The high hills are for the wild goats;
        The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.

        19He appointed the moon for seasons;
        The sun knows its going down.
        20You make darkness, and it is night,
        In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
        21The young lions roar after their prey,
        And seek their food from God.
        22When the sun rises, they gather together
        And lie down in their dens.
        23Man goes out to his work
        And to his labor until the evening.

        24O LORD, how manifold are Your works!
        In wisdom You have made them all.
        The earth is full of Your possessions--
        25This great and wide sea,
        In which are innumerable teeming things,
        Living things both small and great.
        26There the ships sail about;
        There is that Leviathan
        Which You have made to play there.

        27These all wait for You,
        That You may give them their food in due season.
        28What You give them they gather in;
        You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
        29You hide Your face, they are troubled;
        You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
        30You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
        And You renew the face of the earth.

        31May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
        May the LORD rejoice in His works.
        32He looks on the earth, and it trembles;
        He touches the hills, and they smoke.

        33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
        I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
        34May my meditation be sweet to Him;
        I will be glad in the LORD.
        35May sinners be consumed from the earth,
        And the wicked be no more.

        Bless the LORD, O my soul!
        Praise the LORD!
