The Day After

My daughter said "It's like we're in a dream."

She's right.

I pray for our nation and the eight years to come. (Unless he really messes up or Republicans get their acts together in the next election, you know Obama will get two terms.)

What gives me the greatest hope for our future?

As she headed to bed last night, my daughter declared, "Even with Obama as President, this is still the greatest nation in the world!"

She's right and let us never forget that.

Come what may, our hope is in our country's foundation of Faith and Freedom and despite all America will suffer in the coming eight years, our hope lies also in the future generation: that they may love the Lord with all their hearts and souls and strengths and minds and that they may love their neighbors as themselves. And that they may cherish and defend their nation with every breath they take and every fiber in their beings.

Our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...we here highly resolve...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
