The LIGHTHOUSE Bed and Breakfast
JAN'S NEWSLETTER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . April 1, 2004


Our family is preparing for the celebration of Easter.  We have been privileged to see "The Passion of the Christ."  It has changed our lives.  We are praying that we will be obedient and faithful followers of the One Who gave His life for us.  "The Passion" has touched us at the core of our beings and has brought us to more deeply cherish Him, our families, and our friends.

Please pray for families as they get together for Easter.  Pray for travel safety and then for His divine presence among us as we visit.  Pray that we will not take our families for granted--that we will honor and love them with all our hearts.

The following comments are found in the Introduction of George W. Bush on God and Country, edited by Thomas M. Freiling:


  Not since Abe Lincoln has a sitting president talked so much about God as President George W. Bush.

     . . . Bush finds direction and the source of his strength by calling on God's help.

     The idea for this book was conceived during a White House briefing I attended a few months after the horrific events of September 11, 2001.  During the briefing some of the president's closest advisors gave an inside look into the life of the president.   They told us how much he valued his faith--and how he relied on it for strength and direction during the days, weeks and months following the terror attacks on America.
     . . . [U]ntil that day, I did not fully appreciate the sincerity and depth of his convictions.
     Maybe I had been a little swayed by the secular elite . . . saying Bush's spirituality was nothing more than politicking. . . .
     I set my course on setting the record straight. . . .
     What I found is a president who believes in the God of the Bible, and his son, Jesus Christ.  He believes in the power of prayer, and that all men and women are created equal by God.  He believes the Bible commands us to love our neighbor and have compassion.  He believes that evil exists in the world, that freedom is our God-given right, and that as Americans we have a duty to protect the rights of all people to be free.

     President Bush's favorite hymn, called "A Charge to Keep":

A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.

To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will!

Charles Wesley         

[The remainder of the book contains speeches given by President Bush in which he clarifies what Freiling discovered--that George W. Bush bases his decisions on his Christian and moral code.   When I vote in November, I will not be guided by the outcome of the war, homeland security or the economy.  Neither will I be persuaded by President Bush's mistakes--we all make mistakes because we are human.  What will determine my vote is my unshakable faith in Almighty God and how He delights in guiding the steps of  man.   I believe in George W. Bush's God so therefore I believe in George W. Bush.  I plead with you to pray daily for the safety of our president.  The forces of evil do not want him to be reelected and they know no limits.]
