I truly do understand some of the concerns.
I have some of them, too......but every time I see President Bush - and especially every time I pray for him and his administration and this country - I truly can commit those concerns to the God upon whom we stand as our Rock and our Salvation. And, I thank God every single day that we even have the possibility of having President Bush in office at this crucial time in our history.
(and, I imagine every day what if it were Algore????)
(or worse, yet, what if it were Hillary???)
And one more thing - I really have been reading about President Washington and how he was beset from day one by tremendous criticisms and enemies to the point that at the end of his 2nd term, he felt he was a failure as a President. Yet it was his character and wisdom and self-giving and determination to keep our nation united and at peace that set the foundation upon which America was built.
I know that President Washington would be so grieved to see what has happened to his beloved country today. All those who bled and died to bring us peace and freedom would be also (and maybe they see it from their "heavenly seats"....
I simply wish we could all unite to fight in prayer and in service to our country (and our families and communities) but remain civil and decent towards those with whom we disagree. (But I read that Washington's enemies resorted to the press to attempt to damage our first President just as the press today is allied with those who want to destroy this President.).
Well - enough about this. It is a pure miracle of God's grace that this country has survived this long. We can only pray and work for God's continued grace to us - because, as President Bush said so simply and so eloquently:
"FREEDOM NEEDS AMERICA!" Without America - I truly believe freedom will be snuffed out in the world - as we are God's gift of the light of freedom for all of history.
President Bush has the clarity of vision to see this. He is truly a great man.
I agree with that completely. If you look at all of history, there have only been this 300 years or so that have been marked with the idea of individual freedom and opportunity, and only in America has that idea flourished. That's why so many want to come here to take advantage of the way our country works, unfortunately sometimes in order to destroy us. But we have to be always vigilant because we are that 'City on a Hill' that Reagan loves so well.
That is why I believe at times America is under seige from within. There are those of the Islamic backgrown, and now blacks and reperations, and another being the Mexican talk of wanting land back.
This is definately orchestrated. My prayer is that those within our borders that is strategizing America's downfall will be shown for who they are, and the courage for those in positions to do something about it will rise up.
