Do Bush and Bono really constitute two or more?

Scripture tells us that where two or more are gathered, God is there. Well, Bush had a national prayer breakfast, Bono came, and looking at his words...so did God.

I invite you to mull over these words and allow passion and heart ache to capture you - may we, as a blogging (or blog reading) community pray these words together.

"I'd like to talk about the laws of man, here in this city where those laws are written. And I'd like to talk about higher laws. It would be great to assume that the one serves the other; that the laws of man serve these higher laws ... but of course, they don't always."

"God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house ... God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives ... God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war ..."

"... justice is a higher standard. Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice; it makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties, it doubts our concern, it questions our commitment."





ps...who'd guess that I'd ever post quotes from a prayer meeting Bush convened?
