"...we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverence; perseverence, character; and character, HOPE. And HOPE does not disappoint us because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) whom He has given us." - (Romans 5:3-5)

piasa--Thank you for posting the Scriptural reference. I thought that sounded familiar, and I am glad to see I was right.

Many of the President's speeches contain phrases from Scripture without direct reference...apparently the reporters don't recognize it unless you slap them up the side of the head with a big old phot-op Bible.

This was wonderful, and I am so glad I got to see the entire program. All were very good (except for Edwards political prayer) and the singing of Amazing Grace at the end was touching.

John----The last paragraph is quite serious and we would be advised to pay attention. This is the third reference I have seen made to approaching adversity or hardship. The war is about to take a difficult turn, I think, and I will not be surprised if we have another attack soon.
