4. My theory of the "Presidential Prayer Team"

is that it is a creation of Betty Bowers, Whitehouse.org, or the Onion. No way can that shit be for real!

8. WORDS FROM THE PRESIDENT ON CORETTA SCOTT KING

WORDS FROM THE PRESIDENT ON CORETTA SCOTT KING


President Bush spoke to the thousands gathered at Tuesday’s memorial service for Coretta Scott King. Many speakers made frequent references to Scripture, including President Bush. Photo courtesy of the White House.

In the critical hours of the civil rights movement, there were always men and women of conscience at the heart of the drama. They knew that old hatreds ran deep. They knew that nonviolence might be answered with violence. They knew that much established authority was against them. Yet they also knew that sheriffs and mayors and governors were not ultimately in control of events; that a greater authority was interested, and very much in charge.

The God of Moses was not neutral about their captivity. The God of Isaiah and the prophets was still impatient with injustice. And they knew that the Son of God would never leave them or forsake them.

But some had to leave before their time—and Dr. King left behind a grieving widow and little children. Rarely has so much been asked of a pastor's wife, and rarely has so much been taken away. Years later, Mrs. King recalled, "I would wake up in the morning, have my cry, then go in to them. The children saw me going forward." Martin Luther King, Jr. had preached that unmerited suffering could have redemptive power.

Little did he know that this great truth would be proven in the life of the person he loved the most. Others could cause her sorrow, but no one could make her bitter. By going forward with a strong and forgiving heart, Coretta Scott King not only secured her husband's legacy, she built her own. Having loved a leader, she became a leader. And when she spoke, America listened closely, because her voice carried the wisdom and goodness of a life well lived.

In that life, Coretta Scott King knew danger. She knew injustice. She knew sudden and terrible grief. She also knew that her Redeemer lives. She trusted in the name above every name. And today we trust that our sister Coretta is on the other shore -- at peace, at rest, at home. May God bless you, and may God bless our country.

12. Okay, I can see the latter two, but the first one? Come on...

I can understand the latter two requests - those seem pretty normal. But praying for Bush as he hosts the Texas Longhorn football team? What, is he afraid they might attack him or something?

[FreedomAngel82]

28. That doesn't make sense to me either

[beam me up scottie]

13. There's no such thing as too low for them, is there, BB?

S'okay.

The depth of their depravity is only matched by my sense of revulsion.

[Bluebear]

21. Not ONE WORD for the shooting victim.

Only prayers for Bush as he welcomes a football team. What requires prayer for such an event anyhow?

[beam me up scottie]

22. I wish I knew.

I'm not religious, but aren't you supposed to pray about really important things?

It could be a spoof site, couldn't it?

How obscene that it's not.

[FreedomAngel82]

31. You're supposed to and also praises too of course

I don't know why praying for Bush welcoming a Texas football team would be prayer worthy.

[Sapphire Blue]

14. Oh, I'm praying for him alright...

Dear President Bush: I am praying for you: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x319415

Dear President Bush: I am praying for you… again: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x380555

[Katherine Brengle]

17. "Holy Crap" lol... some people are truly nutty... n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

25. So did they have this when Clinton was president?

He's a Christian too. I didn't know football was a priority now. What about poverty?

[DemBones DemBones]

29. Religious freedom means that people can pray for whatever

and whoever they like. Would you be making fun of them if this were a Jewish prayer group or a Muslim prayer group? Didn't think so.

[FormerRepublican]

30. They didn't mention that they pray to Satan. Odd ommission.

I'm sure they know God would never listen to their 'kill them all' tripe.
