QUOTE OF THE DAY:

These sources of strength are also in the faith that sustains so many of us. Across the town of Blacksburg and in towns all across America, houses of worship from every faith have opened their doors and have lifted you up in prayer. People who have never met you are praying for you; they're praying for your friends who have fallen and who are injured. There's a power in these prayers, real power. In times like this, we can find comfort in the grace and guidance of a loving God. As the Scriptures tell us, "Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

And on this terrible day of mourning, it's hard to imagine that a time will come when life at Virginia Tech will return to normal. But such a day will come. And when it does, you will always remember the friends and teachers who were lost yesterday, and the time you shared with them, and the lives they hoped to lead. May God bless you. May God bless and keep the souls of the lost. And may His love touch all those who suffer and grieve.
President George W. Bush April 17, 2007

She’s right, Justa. We were talking about you today -— knowing that this Dose would be a whole lot of work.

[Jemian]

Oh, OK. #2 in honorable, too.

Yep. onyx is right. I was sighing a big sigh of relief that I'm no longer the Tuesday Dose Provider.

You're doing GREAT, Justa. I left Tuesdays in good hands. :)

[LUV W]

BRAT!!!!

LOL!

[onyx]

I don’t know if I’ll be able to post the Dose before 5:00PM Central tomorrow, since I am pulling duty on the FReepathon thread too, which might slow me down.

[onyx]

Ditto!

[LuvyaDubya]

Thanks for tonight's Dose, JAN.

We pray that He will comfort and console those who now walk in sorrow. We thank Him for each life we now must mourn, and the promise of a life to come.

As we have been assured, neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, can separate us from God's love. May He bless the souls of the departed. May He comfort our own. And may He always guide our country. GWB 09/14/2001

[LUV W]

I know this just breaks his heart, but I am so glad that he was the President that presided over this....instead of the former president who was so insincere as to just play to the cameras.

[Theresawithanh]

Thanks for the dose today, Justa, and great pics, too!

I’ve been watching as much coverage as I can stand about the VT massacre. President Bush’s message was a very solemn and moving one.

LOL --- might as well tell her the "rest of the story" --- I chimed in, Justa that I continue to be grateful I switched from Friday to Wednesday and NOT to Tuesday. :0)

You do a superb job of posting the Dose! Absolutely excellent!!!

[onyx]

LOL! Can you imagine? I won a toaster!!!

[onyx]

I echo your sentiment.

The liberal lunatics claimed the president only went to VT for a photo op

[Theresawithanh]

On a lighter note, I think it's time I told you guys my "real world" name - I'm really Michelle Malkin! don't I wish...

(*This is in reference to a posting on another site about Halle Berry, chatting as a regular person in a chatroom, supposedly, and they didn't believe her when she posted that they'd been chatting with Halle Berry all this time!)

**You’re doing GREAT, Justa. I left Tuesdays in good hands. :)**

Definitely! But I still miss you posting, Ohio.

[ilovew]

Good to know. :)

[LUV W]

I am sooooooooo surprised at YOU, of all people, winning a toaster! LOL!

I heard what Rosie said, and you know what I thought?

It is the demonic in her that cannot stand the Light of the Lord in him.

That's where her hatred is coming from.......spiritual warfare.

[ohioWfan]

Well THANK you for that, dear friend!

I do miss doing it, but it's still a good call for me for now.

[tsmith130]

This person with their hand on the president is the one that was overcome later in the program and EMT's took him out of the auditorium. The President turned around to help and comfort him.

THEY ARE HOME!

I am convinced it was this last photo that froze my photobucket account. It does not agree with the imminent divorce story. Isn't it the sweetest pic of our loving First Couple?

[onyx]

Lynne Cheney photos! What a wonderful treat!!!

Just WOW, Justa!!!

[onyx]

Me too! A shocker.

[Just A Nobody]

ALL CLEAR!!!

[onyx]

Yes, it’s a truly special photo!!!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Hey everyone here. Another day that I am so very glad President Bush is our President. Thank GOD he is our leader. God bless him, Mrs. Bush, the Cheneys, and all the families and friends of those senselessly killed at Va. Tech.

Thank you also for this thread.

[Just A Nobody]

You missed a 3-way tie for 1st by 6 seconds! So yes, you are 2nd. Next time..... ;*)

[Just A Nobody]

Behave!

Good evening Kaslin. I hope you enjoy tonight’s DOSE.

[dmd25]

Thank you for the Dose, JAN. Am here only for a moment. How wonderful for the VT community to have GWB go today for the service. What a strong man he is. He is Comforter in Chief as well as Commander in Chief—and we know from Whom he draws his own strength and comfort!
