Our Great President
Whether you do or do not like George W. Bush Jr. 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 ......

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 ....
