Regarding the growing wait to see the late President Reagan lying in state.
...I am overjoyed to see it. I wish I could be there. I woudl gladly wait 24 hours or more to be honored to see him lying in state. Myself and my family will be there in spirit.
I pray that the masses who desire to see him amaze everyone...that they are so numberless that they cannot be contained. I pray that they will wait as long as necessary and be glad and willing to do so, in California and in DC...white, black, yellow, brown and red.
I pray that it becomes such a phenomena that the press can't hide it, that they are at a complete loss of wors to explain it... that their socialist/liberal programs and voices are in fact left utterly speechless by it!
This is my prayer for this week of mourning and honor for the former President Ronald Reagan and his great all-American legacy...a legacy that will show him to be on of the top tow or three greatest presidents this nation had evr had, or that we have been blessed by God to see in office.
I'm actually impressed with the media's coverage of the viewing by the public. They're broadcasting the comments of praise by those standing in line.
Great!! IMHO, that's more answer to prayer.
Amen. Joining you in prayer. In the name of All That Is Holy, I invoke a miracle in the witnessing to the nations and the organs of the media at how the American People understand and appreciate the service this great President gave to us.
Take a look at this thread...
"The numbers of people lining up to pay their final respects to Ronald Reagan have surpassed all expectations...and they're still coming!"
My eyes welled up as I realized we were witnessing literal answer to prayer. I pray it continues and that when he returns to California, the same occurs up to and after his burial, that the lines to visit his grave, when it is opened to the public, continue the outpouring of love, respect, honor and realization.
Thank you Mr. President...even in your passing you are building hope and leading the nation to a better day. God rest and bless you...God comfort and bless your dear wife as she awaits with dignity your enventual reunion.
I second your prayer.
President Reagan did so much to fix it. It still needs fixing, but he has done so much more than the rest of us, and we need to stomp EVERYBODY who speaks against him. Not physically, but still flat.
President Reagan was and still is right.
What a blessing to have lived to see his Presidency and his impacy...which continues to this day as is evident by this tremendous outpouring.
What a responsibilty we have to maintain, grow and srpead his legacy and make it our own.
...motion carries!
I am lucky enough to live in Santa Monica and I was able to pay my respects earlier. It is a priviledge to honor a great president.
Yes it is...and thank you and God bless you for doing so.

Ronald Reagan is perhaps the only American President who will stand unashamed in the halls of the Founding Fathers. We can only aspire to stand in the gap where he once stood.
The stompin' time's a'comin'.
...and a prayer that we will have the courage and conviction to do just that.
Ping me when you stomp Bro'!!!!
To do this, we must teach our children to be philosophers, warriors, and spiritually sovereign individuals.
If you can make the distinction between right and wrong - you are a philosopher.
If you have the courage to stand up for what you believe in and t ofight for what's right - you are a warrior.
If you use your wits and your courage to grappple with the tough moral questions and have the faith to live your convictions - then you are a spiritually sovereign individual.
Bro, those descriptions are keepers and represent the most basic of truths.
They deserve a thread all of their own, etched in granite and in the hearts and souls of our countrymen...thank you for gracing this thread with them.
Here's the comment/post I was talking to you about.
Prayer is the only power that we really have, and I am convinced that it is the true power of Freerepublic. These threads bring the quickest and broadest call to prayer that can be made. The fact that Terri Schiavo is still alive is clear testimony to that.
Amen to that my friend...and thank God for it.
