History




A few things for today:
  1. While you do have freedom of speech in America, if you're using that freedom to express your great sadness or utter disappointment in our country's choice for president-well--it may be time to refocus your energy toward something a bit more productive.
  2. If you're a praying person, pray for President Obama. Whenever you think of him, pray.
  3. Celebrate what has taken place today. I just saw a woman interviewed and she told this story: "The day after the election, when my young daughter woke up, I told her that something incredible had happened. I told her that that while she was asleep, Dr. Martin Luther King's dream had come true." We definitely have a ways to go with that one, but I appreciated the heart behind what she said.

It was amazing today...I sat spellbound at the history unfolding...of where we've been, and where we are now. What a wonderful Day! We will be praying so hard for Obama, our president. I'm so happy we have elected an African American president...yes, I can feel the hope.
