Reflection for February 19

I'm Commander, see . . .
I do not need to explain why I say things.
That's the interesting thing about being President.
I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation.

—George W. Bush (to Woodward)

Reflection

Drunks who become dry drunks are vengeful and
angry at having to give up the cocaine and the alcohol
and will take out their frustration on everyone around
them. Dr. Lawrence Green of Texas sez: "If people
make behavioral changes without changing their inter-
nal values, beliefs, and attitudes, the new behaviors are
less likely to stick.

Affirmation

May I be willing to see new, enduring spiritual values,
and may the self-righteous mantle disappear from my
life and from that of my Leader.
