Had planned to give you some good news this morning.  Hopefully we can get to that tomorrow.  But got something else today.  The shuttle crew has realized they're dead, and are they ripped!  Their commander sent a message to The President.  We cannot publish it, it's simply too direct and too strong.  Let us just say it is a very forceful plea for The President to do something.  We have it written down, but we will not even email it.  If The President wants it, and he really doesn't, he doesn't want to hear what this man has to say, he can call Linda and she can read it to him.  But his plea has sparked a great effort in The Afterlife for The Kingdom Of God to do something for these souls trapped in the dead zones, especially those in the dead zones where conditions are getting so desperate.
Lord Peter went to The White House and asked Jesus if he could not make some concession.  What would President Bush have to do to have the astronauts released, to open the Dallas dead zone long enough for them to escape, and those other souls trapped with them?  Jesus contemplated for a few moments then answered, "All he has to do is formally ask, that's all.  Call Demetrius and say 'Please, I'm asking The Kingdom Of God to show some compassion, to give us some pity.  Open the Dallas dead zone long enough for the astronauts to escape. Let them go to The Afterlife.'  That's all.  That's all he has to do and the sabbath following, when we're at the peak of our power, we'll open the Dallas dead zone and let all the souls trapped there escape into The Afterlife. And, I will extend the same to the rulers of any other place where the conditions in the dead zones are the worst.  We will not open all the dead zones, but if the leaders of the nations where the worst ones are ask, we will open the dead zones long enough to release those suffering the  most, and make conditions more bearable.  But if they will not ask, if they will not come forward and ask God for mercy, ask God for pity, then we will do nothing."
So, that's it!  That's what's happening this morning.  Jesus is offering The President a chance to release the astronauts and others.  All he has to do is ask.

FOOTNOTE: It appears flying out of the dead zones is just as dangerous as flying into them, as the soldiers in Iran learned yesterday.  We are really surprised that more aircraft aren't going down.  The conditions that cause them to crash must be spasmodic, not constant, and shift from dead zone to dead zone.  These poor souls were flying at the wrong time.  But as these dead zones intensify, a lot more people could be flying at the wrong time.
