LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)
Such memories of them waving from Air Force One... tears...
Why have we lost this spirit in America?
Will we ever see a real American President again?
Nancy deserves an award for holding up so well. At 82 years of age, she's held up remarkably well.
God bless her.
I'm not watching FOX now, as I'm taping it for later viewing, but I'm astonished at how hateful the MSNBC coverage is. When CNN is fair and respectful by comparison, you know that things are bad.
TRUE!
And, a bit radical perhaps here, and I wouldn't want to teach it as a doctrine. . . . but
God said those who seek Him will find Him. Perhaps even at the point of death some will be given an opportunity to accept Christ. NOT something one should count on by a million miles.
AND
There's the Scripture about what we forgive on earth will be forgiven in Heaven--something to that effect. So, In such situations, I certainly proclaim forgiveness over such people and Ask God to give them every opportunity repeatedly to accept Christ as their Savior.
And, I know from God's character and values, He's looking for Biblical reasons to save people, not excuses to damn them.
Nancy has been regal.
I'm certain she knows "her Ronnie" is with her.
Brit Hume's voice has been a soothing part of this day..They did well today..no comment when comments would be intrusive...
I can't shake the feeling, that the sky is crying today...
The hot weather for the laying in State, and so many, many people bearing the oppressive heat and humidity to pay thier respects to President Reagan. A tribute in itself.
Then a cool, rainy, comfortable day for the State Funeral.
And when he leaves to go to his final rest, the tears of millions are joined by tears from above.
Apparently, some, if not all, of the private services will be televised. Chris Wallace is covering it for Fox and I doubt they would have sent him if it wasn't going to be covered.
I do hope Nacy and Baroness Thatcher get to rest during to the flight to California.
That General has had to have been great help to Nancy.
I think she has a strong faith. Just not so strong and outspoken on the pro-life issues that President Reagan was.
CBS Webcam jumped to a soap opera.
Their webcam coverage has been pathetic today, compared to earlier in the week.
Now, back to Andrews AFB.
All the soldiers who took part seemed to do a great job--I'm not in the military so guess I don't know if they screwed up, but looked great to me. Very touching,a nd they all looked honored to take part in the services in some way. I thought the same thing about their arms getting tired!
Nancy and Maggie have my admiration for doing such, both being frail.
Those two Ladies would get up those stairs. ALL the way up. :)
I am surprised that Drudge has put up a picture of Kerry laughing at the funeral. Drudge seems to have moved closer to the left these days.
Charlton Heston to attend burial per FNC.
CBS had a split screen of a photo of President Reagan and Nancy waving with the live shot of Nancy waving goodbye...a nice touch.
I wondered if it was to be a grave or a mausoleum. So, it is to be a grave.
