Dear President Bush: I am praying for you

[Sapphire Blue]

You frequently profess your ‘Christianity’, and claim Jesus to be your favorite philosopher. However, your actions would lead one to believe that you are neither a Christian, nor familiar with your favorite philosopher’s teachings. So, dear Georgie, I am praying that you will discover these teachings and convert to Christianity. I realize you don’t like reading, so perhaps Laura could read to you... she was a librarian once upon a time, so I’m sure she could do this… perhaps in lieu of a bedtime story.

May I suggest the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? You will find Jesus’ teachings there.

Since you have such a short attention span, let me point out just a few...



Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

- Matthew 5: 7





Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

- Matthew 5: 8





Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

- Matthew 5: 9





Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

- Matthew 5: 10





"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

- Matthew 6: 5





But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

- Matthew 6: 6





Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers; therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

- Matthew 23: 14





Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.

- Matthew 23: 23





And the King shall answer and say unto them, `Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.'

- Matthew 25: 40

My God, Georgie, what have you done?
