Well, Heather and I thought when we started this blog that we'd use it as a journal/scrap book. To that end we want to say a few words about the history that was made last evening. While we may not agree with all his ideas, we are at the same time proud of the decision our great nation made to see beyond boundaries that used to confine freedom, seeing beyond race to elect the first African American President of these United States. Barack Obama will be our next President. He is a great orator, young, energetic and passionate about this country. Truly, this act by the American people shows that we are moving closer and closer to that credo of our visionary forefathers who knew and wrote that all men were indeed created equal. We truly believe that. We know that our Heavenly Father truly loves all his children equally and hopes that we can all celebrate our differences but work together towards the greater good. We pray that in these uncertain times the Lord will bless our next President and help him lead the country closer toward prosperity and righteousness (and hopefully not tax us into oblivion in the process). We hope that he will be inspired to surround himself with wise and righteous men and together they will make calculated decisions that will be in our best interests as a nation. We hope that he can restore our great nation's international reputation and that we can once again be the beacon of light, the example, that other nations can emulate to bring peace, equality and prosperity to the world. With many things happening in the world that make us fearful of the future our children will inherit, we find comfort and joy in the fact that they will grow up in a country where work and character are rewarded, regardless of where you start out in life.
