WOW, what a great Proverb, FWI, as are the rest you quoted.
You are exactly right. What is going on here is elation and rejoicing because of righteousness after 8 years of evil........and I am constantly amazed that my feeling of absolute euphoria last January has not faded. God is FAITHFUL!
And thank you so much for your kind words.
The Dose for me, is a number of things. First it is a place in which I can actually find out what the President's day has been. I don't watch much TV during the day, or at night for that matter, and I often don't know his schedule. I read a great deal on FR and frankly, sometimes, it is so negative that one would think that Bush's presidency is flailing and that he is weak. The Dose provides a perfect antidote for both the lack of knowledge of his day and the negative aura which permeates FR (and the mainstream press as well).
As a political junkie, I indeed take great pleasure in being able to view my President through a lens of respect rather than disgust. I take great pride and pleasure knowing I can watch the TV and not hit the mute button when the president comes on or worse, actually leave the room. Furthermore, I am grateful that my sons (ages 12 and 10) can watch the TV and see a man worthy of admiration and respect. A man who respects his country and in particular, the office he holds. And for this, I do, indeed, REJOICE!
It is indeed true that we all pray for this President. We pray so that God provides him with wisdom, clarity of thought, patience, moral rectitude and resolve. We further pray for his safety and that of his family. His enemies are many and they are dangerous so we pray that God provides a shield to protect him. His burdens are immense and our prayers are meant as a means of support to carry him through these dangerous times. And he feels this as he has said so on many occasions.
Finally, this is a place to have FUN. The president is a very good-looking man and well, we would hardly be women, if we didn't NOTICE THAT! You know the saying - girls just want to have fun!
So, long live THE DOSE!
