(on the part of the
 pastor).  Not one, nor two, but three songs requested just hours before the
 service.  And calling someone at work to take care of it to boot!  At this
 stage of the game, methinks I would have told the pastor to find them
 himself.  Or do without."

Clare responded " Woe Michael!... I am not a US Citizen but even I know that
today is a day when songs which
exalt your NATION should be sung !Therefore all WL's shoud have these songs
in the repetoire. - this is an instance when we encourage both ourselves and
our nation and lift up our nation to God"

Michael says:

Come on, folks.  I said nothing about WHICH songs were selected, but rather
the late hour in which the request for three songs was extended from the
pastor.  I know what day tomorrow is and the significance of these songs are
not lost on me.  I made no comment about them (some people have responded to
me privately with similar comments, so this is not just about Clare's
thoughts).

However, the fact that tomorrow is September 11 has been known for quite
some time.  If these songs were selected with that date in mind (a safe
assumption), then the lateness of the request is even more suspect.  It
doesn't take Hercule Pierot to see what is going on here.

But hey, please let me know where I'm wrong.  I don't mind.  But at the same
time, please make it relevant to what I wrote.  I don't know how to respond
to criticisms of issues I did not bring up in the first place.

TTFN!
