History is Made Today

I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the inauguration ceremony today and felt extremely proud to be an American. How many countries have a peaceable exchange of power and the freedom to vote for our leaders? I am also extremely proud to be in a country where a black man has risen to the highest office in our country when just 100 years ago we were still wrestling with slavery. I have been in prayer this weekend and throughout the day for our new president and will continue to do so throughout his administration. My vote is irrelevant at this point, and I choose to obey the Lord and pray for our country and our leaders. I am also thankful to have had a president for the last eight years that is a man of character who has a soft heart to toward the Lord. I think he's getting a bad rap right now, and history will remember him more favorably than he is spoken of now. God bless America!
