In case you didn't make
In case you didn't make it to Ripley, W.Va., in the U.S. today, where President Bush spent his holiday, here are some highlights. First, a prayer from the Rev. Jack Miller of West Ripley Baptist Church (according to the Washington Post):
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of your word in the name of multiculturalism. We have been forced to honor sexual deviance in the name of freedom of expression. We have exploited the system of education in the name of the lottery. We have toyed with the idea of helping human life in the name of medical research. We have killed our unborn children in the name of choice.
Bush went on to speak of the freedoms "granted to each one of us by Almighty God," and said, "The founders humbly sought the wisdom and the blessing of Divine Providence. May we always live by that same trust, and may God continue to watch over the United States of America."
