QUOTE OF THE DAY: The same Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today. The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth; yet we can pray that all are safely home.

A sad PING.

A somber day indeed. I missed the President's remarks but read the transcript. His selection of scripture was perfect!

Thanks Rintense for the pictures that remind us how blessed we are to have George W. Bush as our President.

May God bless our President.

And, may God welcome home the crew of the Columbia.

Thanks for all you do, Rintense.

Another morning of mourning for our nation. So sad, as others have said. So glad we have an honorable President for America at this time. Thanks, Rintense for the pictures and summary of this days event.

Top 25 ?

That is a moving and memorable quote.

Thanks rintense. Still here even if I don't respond to the "Day" posts often. I think GWB needs to get some sleep. I can't even imagine the pressure he is under looking forward to this coming week and then to have this happen on top of it all.

Thanks so much for posting the pixes tonight.

Our courageous, OVER-burdened president does look tired (although some of this is due to poor lighting and camera angles!)! My family and I continue to pray for him daily (and on days like today, HOURLY)!

God bless the astronauts and their families! And may God continue to bless President George W Bush!

A Memorial I did this morning in Photoshop.

I am using this for my desktop. Feel free to use it or post
it anywhere you like.

The Background was taken by Digital Camera from this
shuttle mission.

The rest of the pics are from Nasa's website.

There is a larger version on my website here:

You knew we needed this home thread today. And your love for our President, and your willingness to do the photo search and take the time to post these pictures and provide deep and meaningful quotes from our President just mean so much. Thank you.

And Lord-Please embrace and comfort our families in this nation that face the deepest of sorrows because of untimely death, help them to feel the love and concern of their nation. Embrace all who are fearful, sick or alone and help us, already so very very blessed to live in this land, to be better, more compassionate, more discerning and more aware of the great blessings and love You so awesomely gift us with-we love You, guide us Father, in the name of Jesus the Christ, Amen.

Providence has laid very heavy loads on our President's shoulders. But President G W Bush has very broad shoulders, and with our prayers he will carry America through this trying times. May God Bless President Bush, the United States of America, and may the souls of those 7 astronauts
who died today rest in peace.

Thanks for the pictures, etc.

I don't pray often, but...

May God bless President Bush;
May God bless the crew, families and friends of the Columbia;
May God bless the United States of America!

Thank you for posting a dose tonight. I'm so numb! I feel so drained of all emotions.

I can not express my ANGER at Iraq...that America deserved this!! That God is getting back at us. I always thought that we prayed to the same God, just in different ways...boy has this opened my eyes. The God I pray to would never do this, and He would not be happy that someone on earth would say that He is. We couldn't possibly worship the same God.

Seeing the events of today reminded me, of course, of the Challenger disaster of 1986. I think it did, everyone. However it also reminded me of one of my favorite episodes of my favorite tv show, The Wonder Years. In that episode, Kevin's mother seemed to be losing it, and his world seemed to be falling apart. He thought his mother was drifting away from his father and his family as she seemed to be in a world of her own. He didn't understand it. Then, at the end of the episode, he overheard his mother talking with his father and she mentioned that she stopped by their church to say a prayer for the astronauts (of Apollo 13), for those events were unfolding at that time. It was then that Kevin's trivial problems were put into perspective for him and he realized that there were other, more important things in life worth troubling over. Good episode. Good lesson.

My President. I defend him every day. He is hated by the hateful and ignorant. So I defend and honor him by my commitment.

God show your mercy on the families of the dead and on us.
