Fox News is reporting that it's possible a grenade was thrown at the stage where President George W. Bush was addressing the crowd in the Soviet republic of Georgia, Tuesday during his trip to Russia.

According to Georgian authorities, a device was thrown and came within 100 feet of the stage before being deflected off a spectator and falling to the ground. A Georgian security guard picked up the device and took it from the area. It had not been seen by the Secret Service as of Tuesday night. The report of the disturbance was not made known until after President Bush had left the region.

Editor's Note: Though it is not yet known what was thrown at the stage where President Bush was speaking, this can serve as both a reminder to be praying for Bush and ALL those in authority, as the Bible says, and an encouragement that our prayers ARE making a difference. Thank You, Lord, for Your hand of protection! -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News.
