Not only may Laura have to go through this someday, President Bush will have to go through it for both his parents. I am sure these thoughts are in their minds right now. : (
Oh, you are so right.
I didn't think about that.
Yes, GHWB will be 80 on Saturday.
When I am not here, I chat in a political chat rooom that is called Boston Tea Party and that is frequented by conservatives, liberterians and left-wingers. This mornig one of those left-wingers said she couldn't understand why President Reagan got a State Funeral. she said he was old and had Alzheimers when he died. She literally thought the president has to die while in office like JFK did when he was assasinated
You know, I have to admit...in all of this, I hadn't even thought of that. Bush 41 will be 80 this weekend, and I'm sure that Mrs. 41 isn't that far away. May God have mercy on us all.
I guarantee you that I will be praying tonight, and in the morning for the President, as he speaks. I expect that it will be different than the service after 9-11, though he did a great job there--this was someone that he knew...it was his father's boss for eight years, and I believe that he worked on "40"'s campaign...at least one of them.
Father of Mercies, and God of all comfort, please comfort your son, our President, as he prepares to speak tomorrow. Your Word says that the one who is skilled in his work will stand before kings, not before the obscure. Please grant him multiplied rest and health tonight, and Your perfect peace. Be with them, and us, dear Lord, we pray, Amen.
