I’m looking for a cheap getaway for my husband and I in December. Seems like those three words don’t compute – cheap, getaway, and December. Oh well. In the process, I thought about going to Washington, DC. We’ve been several times, but never as a tourists and I’ve heard that you can get some reasonably priced rooms during the week. Well, in the process of computer searching, I ended up at the White House website. Did you know that you can get narrated tours of various rooms of the white house on line? It’s actually pretty cool!It is not my intent to be political in this blog, but I thought this quote from President Bush was appropriate for today.

Describing a painting on the wall in the Oval Office, President Bush said this:

“This is a Texas painting by a man named Tom Lee…He wrote this at one time:

‘Sara and I live on the east side of the mountain. It is the sunrise side, not the sunset side. It is the side that is to see the day that is coming, not to see the day that is gone.’

I love that quote because…a president must see a day that is coming, not the day that is gone, the president has got to see a better day for America. And I do see a better day for this country. This painting reminds me of the optimistic spirit I feel in my heart for my country.”

Lord, we pray for the future of our country. May we be lead by men and women of righteousness and integrity. May we remain under the protection of Your hand. May we lead the world in sharing Your love within and outside our borders.
