Observations after today's press conference.

Hmmm, not sure how President Bush is holding up. By that I mean stamina, etc...not politically speaking.

I got the feeling that this is not how he expected his presidency to run...he didn't expect this much upheaval in the world...and trying to manage his presidency with the weight of it all seems to be taking its toll...or is it just me?

He's doing his utmost, I will give him that, but is it enough? Is he being wary enough towards Iran and N. Korea? Is he doing enough for Israel in addition to and in comparison with what he is doing for Lebanon?

Don't be fooled, I'm not pretending to have answers, just throwing out here the questions that are on my mind. Just publicly ruminating on President Bush and how he, personally, emotionally, and spiritually is holding up under all the stuff going on in the world. All I know is this: I feel called to pray for him more than I ever have before. I think he needs all of our prayers right now.

Well, on to some less political stuff. I bowled for the first time in nearly 20 years on Saturday night, and while I "cheated" and used the bumpers that keep the ball in the lane (not 100% effective for me as I overshot them a few times and my ball had to be retrieved from that walkway bowling alley staff use), I did shoot three fairly good games with a 105, 120, and 84 respectively.

Oh, and one other personal note. I've decided I am going back to school for a bachelor's in Journalism. Long time coming, I think.
