Fyi, this came to me by email:

> >I'm at the 8:00am service at my church, St. John's Episcopal, at
> >Lafayette Square, across from the White House. (I wanted to go early
> >because I was going with friends for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in
> >Manassas.)
> >
> >Much of the service was uneventful -- nice, but uneventful -- until it
> >comes to the part of the service when the priest says, "Greet one another
> >in the name of the Lord." I turn to my right to exchange the peace with
> >my friend who was on the other end of my pew. I then shake hands with
> >the person in front of me, and turn around to say hello to the person
> >behind me. The person behind me was our 43rd President George W. Bush.
> > I am not kidding.

> >A small crowd was forming around him, and not wanting to delay the church
> >service or bother him by waiting to shake his hand, I turned back around

> >on my left shoulder and turn around to see President Bush with his hand

> >When I stood up to go to the communion rail, he got up and walked down

> >President, I pray for you every day." To which he said, "That's a very
> >special gift. Thank you so much." We got to the communion rail and
> >there were two spaces, one in front of us and one around the side of the
> >altar. We both surmised for ten seconds and then I started off around
> >the corner. He stopped me and whispered, "No, no. I'll go around,"
> >and motioned for me to take the closer spot. The only exception made in
