I was reluctant to add to this long thread but I just HAVE to tell you a big THANK YOU for reminding us of this! My heart goes out not only to you and your neighbors in Florida but also our incredible President.
I've been lurking a long time (most of the Bush 43 term) but after watching the debate I finally signed up tonight. I came here to find some inspirational posts to read to my mom. I've beem sitting at my computer ever since the debate ended reading through thousands of posts and feeling encouraged.
I pray continually for the entire conservative leadership: elected (Bush, Cheney, DeLay), political (Rove, Norquist), and informational (Rush, Sean, Laura, FoxNews, and Jay Severin, my local Bush-supporting talk show host). This is a time for those of us who believe in prayer to pour our hearts out for the future of this country.
