Our Great President

Whether you do or do not like
George W. Bush as our President,
this message reveals some thoughts
on some plateaus he has reached.

The following incident from
Major General Van Antwerp
may give us some insight.
Gen. Antwerp is president of the
Officers' Christian Fellowship.

He lost nearly all his staff when
the Pentagon was
attacked September 11th
His executive officer L.T.C. Brian Birdwell
was badly burned
and in the hospital
when President Bush visited him.

Our President spent time and
prayed with Brian.
As he was getting ready to leave,
he went to the foot of
Brian's bed and saluted.
The injured soldier returned
the salute out of respect
to his President .... 



Congressman JC Watts said,
"Character is doing the
right thing when nobody
is looking."

In this time of war and danger,
I am so grateful to have a
President who knows how to pray.



On Special Report with Brit Hume,
at the close of the show when
they normally have some funny
video clips, they showed
President Bush and the First Lady
on their way to Maryland
to leave for Camp David
for the weekend.

As the video starts, the First Lady
is leading the
way into the helicopter with the
spaniel dog on the leash.
The president is right
behind her with the Scotty
on the leash.

As the First Lady entered the chopper,
the Marine at the gangway
saluted and held his salute.
The Scottie the president was
walking decided it wanted
to sit .. right when he got to the steps.

The president pulled on its leash,
but the stubborn Scottie
persisted in sitting.
The president bent down and scooped
up the pooch and entered
Marine One.

Moments later the President
reemerged from the helicopter
and out onto the steps.
The Marine was standing at attention,
the President leaned over and
tapped him on the arm. The startled Marine
turned his body toward the
President and received his
returned salute!




This is a true act of respect for
our military people
by our President!

President George W. Bush.
The man who admitted to having
a drinking problem in younger years,
whose happy-go-lucky
lifestyle led him to mediocre grades
in college and came within a hair's
breadth of losing the election in November.

Bush named Jesus Christ as Lord of
his life on public TV.
Not an Oblique reference to being
"born-again" or having
a "life change." He actually said
the phrase, "Jesus Christ!"



On September 11, he was thrust into
a position only known
by the likes of Roosevelt,
Churchill, Lincoln, and Washington.
The weight of the world was on his
shoulders, and the responsibility
of a generation was on his soul.

President George W. Bush walked
to his seat at the front of the
National Cathedral just three days
after two of the most impressive
symbols of American capitalism
and prosperity virtually evaporated.

When the history of this time
is written, it will be
acknowledged by friend and foe
alike that President George W. Bush
came of age in that cathedral
and lifted a nation to prayer.
In what was one of the most
impressive exhibitions of self-control
in presidential history



President George W. Bush
was able to deliver
his remarks without losing his resolve,
focus, or confidence.
God's hand, which guided him through
that sliver-thin election,
now rested fully on him.
As he walked back to his seat,
the camera angle was appropriate.
He was virtually alone in the scene,
alone in that massive place with God,
just him and the Lord.

Back at his seat, George  Bush
reached over and took his son's hand.
In that gesture his father seemed to say,
"I wish I could do this for you, son,
but I can't. You have to do this on your own."

President George W. Bush squeezed back
and gave him a look of peace that said,
"I don't have to do it alone
Dad, I've got Help."

What a blessing to have a professing
Christian as President.



Please take a moment after
you read this to "pray for him."
He truly does have the weight
of the world on his shoulders.
Pray that God will sustain him
and give him wisdom and
discernment in his decisions.

Pray for his protection
and that of his family.

Our President needs all people
of our nation to be praying.
Eventually there could
literally be millions of people
praying for him, and for our
Great Country ....
