LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)
They chose Danforth instead. Non controversial.
I am thoroughly gratified that our President made clear reference to the need of the Gospel instead.
Thanks be to God.
And with us all.
Absolutely. The adults would never do anything that distasteful.
I was very please they sang the original words also. Pres. Reagan was plain spoken and so is Pres. Bush. It was very appropriate. I almost cheered through my tears.
Even Danforth came through...."He didn't need to be President to be a complete person." Great statement about Reagan's attitude toward power and fame.
"Death has done all that death can do"
You were the last of the last.
If true that is a shame,this might be a push for him to turn to God for help in dealing with this loss. What else does he have,he is a very smart guy that is a failure in life compared to his father. Highlight of his career is the AKC dog show emcee. WOOPDEDOO!!!!!!
I have the chills. This is so beautiful.
I have stayed quiet ... as not to add on
By I'm with you ... THIS IS PRESIDENT REAGAN'S DAY
There will be plenty of time later to deal with the Clinton's
TODAY WE ARE HERE TO HONOR A GREAT MAN .. GOD BLESS YOU RONNY!
you are a child and therefor have an excuse. Its ok.
Don't give voters more credit than they deserve.
The Clintons are not going to like the pictures of themselves when they see how many times the cameras caught them sleeping. Bill's expression was particularly bad, his mouth droops into a severe frown when he sleeps. I was waiting for his jaw to drop open.
May we believers all pray that
HOLY SPIRIT WILL RELENTLESSLY BE THE HOUND OF HEAVEN REPEATEDLY BRINGING THEM TO A POINT OF SALVATION CHOICE until they surrender to the One who can enable and make them to be the best them they have ever been--the most fulfilled, satisfied--and in step with the One who died for them, too.
>I'm late getting to this thread, but Patti looks better than I've ever seen her look before. I can't take my eyes off her. She looks... real.
I hate to sound annoyed, but it galls me to see the camera angle totally cut Michael out of the picture.
Danforth is hitting a grand slam. Subtly sticking it to the current political environment in this country...And that hatred and darkness will be overcome with light.
GWB is starting to behave like a President.
"I realized I couldn't ask for God's help while harboring hatred in my heart for that young man (Hinckley)." RR
That was a very uplifting version of the Battle Hymn. Triumphant.
I did get to vote for Reagan and served under him as well. When I entered the USAF in 78 it was a mess. By the time I left in 90 we were ready to Fly and Fight and WIN.
Thank you and God bless you Ronald Reagan. We owe you so much....
