As I write this I am watching the inauguration of Barack Obama. There is certainly a lot of people there and it looks like it is a little chilly. I have never participated in something like that so I guess I don't understand the concept of standing in the cold to watch something on TV monitors. Perhaps it is the excitement of being there.

There has been a big to do about Rick Warren's opening prayer. Although I see the latest Gallop poll indicated that most people are not upset by it. I thought he did a good enough job blessing the ceremony. Of course there are going to be different opinions on that. So many people don't have their eyes on our Lord Jesus Christ, the author of all things and the one who is in complete control.

It is 12:05 and President Bush is no longer president. Barack Obama is just taking the oath. And there is much excitement and fan fair. The canons are presenting the 21 gun salute. People are chanting 'Obama... Obama... Obama..."

President Obama is presenting his acceptance speech. I wonder what Former President Bush is thinking. I know that I am sitting here with the knowledge that the younger generation's vote is responsible for voting President Obama into office. Many I feel acted on emotions without really knowing what they were voting for.

An interesting message to Muslim leaders. They will be judged by what they build, not by what they destroy.

So begins a new chapter in our great nations history. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I will be praying that our Lord Jesus will continue to watch over us and continue to bless the United States of America.
