It is a Wednesday, Sunbeams and R.A.'s tonight.
The President and First Lady attended the traditional ecumenical prayer service this morning that all Presidents have attend since Washington. It was held in the National Cathedral. Start the day off by asking the Lord to at least not work against us ( but its also ok to be a non believer with this crowd!, praise Jesus! ) My BFF Kate was the host of the whole deal , since it was her Church, and the man that married Micheal and John-Clinton was one of the speakers. ( since again, it was sort of his church) It was just a lovely AMERICAN service.
So many different people took part in it. Episcopal, Roman Catholic, a fantastic homily by the head of the Christan (Disciples of Christ) Church, which if I can find on line I will post, that was some damn fine preaching ! ( Tag, you are it!), a knock your socks off singin' ( that's what it was) of Amazing Grace by this African American baritone that almost brought folks down for an alter call! It was a totally inclusive ceremony ,but in an Episcopal setting, so they had prayers of the people. The prayer was led off by an Islamic lady with head scarf, she passed the mic to a rabbi, who passed it to a baptist , who passed it to a Hindu, who pasted it to the RC Bishop on and on and on. It is so nice when we as a country get things right. No Mr. Warren in site today, waaaay to many infidels for his narrow narrow tastes.
Michelle Watch, the Addendum:
I am very excited about the fashion of this lady, She is NOT going to ever wear what you want her to, no pastel Escada suits in her closet. A lovely print dress, a little casual for me, but you know I am old old school. One thing, she just must not get cold, at all. I have been in that Church a few times and its chilly in there in August. BUT! what a full blown hoot it would have been and a funny shock to the whole nation if Mrs. Obama has walked into that service this morning in FULL blown black church lady drag! BRIGHT ORANGE , pumps, suit and gloves. BIG CHURCH LADY HAT, and a few Kleenex stuffed up one sleeve! She would never do it , but come on, it would have been funny:
In keeping with our Church themed morning, watch Bishop Robinson on Daily Show last night. The man is funny, a rare thing in his line of work:
