Disappointed but hopeful

Ok so I have to agree I am disappointed about our new President and a bit worried about the future. I wonder if this is the Lord's way of getting me to pray harder. :) I do have hope though. It is very amazing though to be a part of history. I pray Obama will be a good change for our country and that he will lead us into a direction that will benefit all.

I had to go back to Manassas to vote. I took Caleb and Zach with me and they were so proud to be there. It made me so happy to see how excited they were. The kids were disappointed that we couldn't vote here because their school gave them each a ticket to take to the voting booth. The kids were allowed to cast their vote for fun and they wanted so badly to do this. Caleb was so excited when he got home. He announced to me that McCain won with over 1,000 votes to Obama's 800 and some. Too bad the kids' votes didn't really count. :)

America is a wonderful place and I am glad to be a part of it. I hope I can still say that in four years.

I totally agree with you. I am worried what is going to happen. I guess we will just have to pray and keep having faith that the Lord will send inspiration and guidance.

Moral issues should be taught at home, we can never expect society or the government to do us right with that--that is my comfort. We can teach our children and then let them govern themselves.

I, personally, am excited for the change.
