Tonight after a lovely dinner at Applebee’s with our new friends, Erik & Megan Barker, Jess and I headed home in time for the State of the Union address by our President, George Bush.
I was very upset by the blatant disrespect the President received from much of the Democratic party during his speach.
At one point, the President said something to the effect of, “You did NOT approve my heath care reformation…” and was INSTANTLY bombarded by applause and cheers from the Democrat party representatives.
It was such an awkward moment of the address that I was confused how the President would continue on.
He did, however, and held his head high as he continued to speak.
I wonder how such severe disrespect is now tolerated for the world’s most powerful leader. No wonder terrorist dictators threaten us – they see our weaknesses in the blatant, public instances like tonight.
He’s our President – the Leader of our Country – not some politic-spinning athlete or celebrity. Treat him with respect Mr. & Mrs. Representative. For the good of our nation.
Yesterday, Jess and I watched the movie, “End of the Spear”. It is based on an incredible, true story. I went into the theater knowing very little about the movie and Jess went in knowing absolutely nothing about the movie. We both left the theater in absolute awe and ready to tell anyone we saw to drop what they were doing to go and see it immediately. We instantly called my sister and parents and told them to do all that they could to see the movie as soon as possible.
After seeing the movie yesterday, today I borrowed from our church library the movie, “Beyond the Gates of Splendor”. This is an hour-and-a-half documentary on the real-life story about the four missionary men and their families that the movie, “End of the Spear” is based on. After seeing the movie and now the documentary, I am VERY glad to have now had a peek into the REAL story that is behind the Hollywood production. I will say that Hollywood did an excellent job depicting the real-life story!
