QUOTE OF THE DAY: Let me cite to you some of the reasons that guide the President when he seeks to make sure that the economy can grow and that jobs can be created, so that when our men and women in the military return home, they'll have jobs to come home to. This is not the first time the United States has gotten into a military conflict of some type of prolonged nature in the past, where a President pushed the Congress to enact tax cuts.

Quote -- "We shall, therefore, neither postpone our tax cut plans, nor cut into essential national security programs. This administration is determined to protect America's security and survival. We are also determined to step up its economic growth. I think we must do both." That statement was made by President John F. Kennedy on December 14th, 1962, at a time when the United States government spent three times, as a percentage of the GDP, what we spend today on military and defense-related matters. ~ Ari Fleischer

PING!

Everyone, please take a moment to say a prayer for our soliders who are being held captive, and for those who have lost their lives in defense of freedom.

Yesterday in church we had a guest singer who blessed us with a wonderful song ..... "God inhabits praise." Let us always remember to praise Him even as we beseech His help on behalf of our President, our military and their loved ones, and our nation.

Psalm 67

1 God be merciful to us and bless us,
        And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah
        2That Your way may be known on earth,
        Your salvation among all nations.

        3Let the peoples praise You, O God;
        Let all the peoples praise You.
        4Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
        For You shall judge the people righteously,
        And govern the nations on earth. Selah

        5Let the peoples praise You, O God;
        Let all the peoples praise You.
        6Then the earth shall yield her increase;
        God, our own God, shall bless us.
        7God shall bless us,
        And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

This war is taking a toll on him. May God grant him peace as he waits for the liberation of Iraq.

Dear President Bush:

I know it's hard, losing lives and knowing Saddam has taken our young ones prisoners. But you've got to carry on, it's the only way to end the threat. Millions will be safe because of the decisions you've had to make.

We love you.

President Bush is the MAN of the historical moment. He has already transcended the vermin who are unfit to shine his shoes. I am proud to defend him and my defense transforms those who question.
Sorry I get emotional about all this...
