Indeed. I cannot help but wonder how Osama could have miscalculated, even as Bush won things he just wasn't supposed to win (tax cuts, education bill, missile defense).

Truly, God stood by this country during the election fiasco.

Bush is kicking you know what; not kissing you know what; Like some people we know. "The Art of War" written 2500 years ago says not maintaining your military to it's highest is dooming your country. Gee...who do we know that fits that description? Go George W. We love ya.....

Everytime I read another article that reveals my president's thoughts and strengths I am inspired yet again. And his "little" actions touch the entire country. They are cumulative. I believe God did bless America yet again when putting this God-fearing man in charge. He is not perfect, but he is good. And his actions will inspire millions in our country and others. God Bless America and keep her protected from evil.

Wow.

I am so grateful for all of these articles that give a glimpse of the "behind-the-scenes" moments with the President--it really adds to my faith to see in more and more detail how God has raised this man up to lead us.

Bush has "projected an image as a determined, farsighted leader," Guelzo says, but his pieties "are still bland and conventional" compared to those of Lincoln, who was tried by the fires of the American Civil War. "Whether Bush's growth and impact lasts will depend on his resolve" as he meets further tragedies.

Other than this paragraph, this is a wonderful article.

The President's faith oozes out of every pore of his body, and ESPECIALLY radiates from him eyes.

He speaks Scripture all the time without quoting it. Our nation is blessed to have him in the WH for this time.

Thank you, Lord!

The President paused for a long moment, squinching the side of his face as he does when he wants to hold back his emotions.

I LOVE HIS SQUINCHY FACE!!!

Great read, Bush Babes, and all!

Wonderful article. He is the right man for the right time. Unrelated to this, you think Rintense's quote of the day is going to be "This isn't a political campaign, it's war!"? I hope so.

Do you find yourself praying more than ever before, with a renewed and deeper conviction? I know I do. And I agree with every word in your post. God knew what we needed, and He has always known what He wants. The hand of God is upon our nation, and we are all encouraged to engage. And He has helped the right man to lead us break down very evil barriers. For sure.

ME TOO! I love everything about him! This is the first I knew that Laura was in our WH during that very terrible day. Thanks for this flag. I would not have missed this article for the world. Sometimes ya read something that confirms what ya believe, just like this wonderful piece did. And it is SO GOOD to know that his head speech writer shares his religious convictions---it sure comes thru! :^)

To: Ditter We have stumbled-I hope the test is not over. I am praying for a miracle. IT would be just like God to have a child bring down clinton and reno and craig and meissner and holder. Not to mention the filthy democrats who grovel before the clintno filth...and the reporters who were willing to also sacrifice ELian for special WH perks.

A Charge to Keep I Have click to hear the music

A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.

To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill
Oh, may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will.

Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live
And O, thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give.

Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely.
Assured if I my trust betray,
I shall forever die.

by Lowell Mason and Charles Wesley
