Reflections on Recent History....

With the inauguration of our 44th President, my mind has been whirling with thoughts and reflections. I am perpetually awe struck when I consider that the United States of America now has an African-American President. President Obama is a symbol for hope and racial progress. He and his family embody the best that our country has to offer. I am beyond proud! Even further, I am proud of how Americans (in general) are rallying to show their genuine support for this new president. As I watched the festivities, I could see a sea of humanity, all joining together to show solidarity for our new leader.

While I am so excited about our new leader, President Obama, I cannot and will not allow the political process to interfere with my spiritual reality. This government can only do what governments do; rule. My joy, peace, loyalty and love are totally committed to my God! It is my prayer that Christ-followers truly give President Obama a fair chance to do what presidents do; lead. He is not the Savior of the world, nor is he the Anti-Christ! He is a man who has the august responsibility to lead this nation through the muck and mire of financial irresponsibility, unbridled terrorism, and intense skepticism.

I will pray for President Obama, his family, and his Cabinet without ceasing, as the Word instructs....I am confident that we will rise above our current crisis, and when that moment occurs, I will still give God the Glory! He alone is worthy...

Writer's Block...

For years, I have been an aspiring writer. I love to see what others have written, but somehow, I can't seem to consistently communicate my own thoughts via paper or computer. It's really frustrating. Could it be that I'm afraid? Afraid of writing something great? Afraid of writing something stupid? - probably both! At any rate, this is yet another feeble attempt to get back on the writing horse. I'm embarking upon a 30-day Challenge to get refocussed! My vision is blurry! I am trusting that my disconnect from things temporal will reinforce my focus on things spiritual. It's a big risk! But, I believe that's what faith is, or suppose to be! The journey begins...
