Baked Beans and The American President...the movie

I never know what to take to church lunches.  I cringe and struggle trying to come up with something to take.  Today it's a pre-July 4th picnic to honor local police and fire personnel.  What do you take to a July 4th picnic?  Today I am taking baked beans.  It's easy and quick.    I should be making my baked beans to take the picnic, but I spent my morning watching the movie The American President on Netflix.  It's been sitting in my queu for a while; I just never had time to watch it.  This morning I really didn't have time to just sit here and watch it.  I needed to make my baked beans, but the movie won.  I like this movie because of the beautiful romantic story involved.  Today though what caught my eye in addition to the beautiful romantic story was the speech that he gave about his political beliefs and the truths...and how he fought for love.  I have often wondered what the President is like as a "real person."  I have a fantasy about having a conversation with the President of the United States.  If my fantasy did come true and I could talk to the President of the United States what would I tell him?  Would I tell him that this year I didn't get raise at work because of budget cuts, but I was grateful to still have a job?  Would I tell him how I juggle things around to get through the 2 weeks until I get paid again?  Would I tell him I wish gas prices were lower?  Would I tell him that I think he should consider more of the senior citizens and the children?  Would I tell him what it's like out in the real world being a single parent, raising kids, working a regular job and living pay check to pay check? Or would I want to sit there and listen to him tell me his story.  My nature is to be listen...most of the times.  (My kids might argue otherwise!)  That's the heart of a spiritaul director..to listen.  I would want to know his heart and I would want to know his fears and his worries and I would want to know what he loves.  Show me your heart and soul, Mr. President.  That's why I like the movie The American President.  We see the heart and soul of the character Michael Douglas plays.  Does the President have a spiritual director who does not judge, but is simply present with him?  Does the President have the opportunity to be present with God?  I pray that he does.
