What a Day!

Election day was a huge day here in California. Unfortunately we are still registered in Texas, so we could not participate in voting on all the issues on California's ballot. It all seemed to pass well anyway...without Matt and I voting. Having voted early, it was interesting to see Electorial day unfold...listening to all the discussions going on in grocery aisles and such. I, personally, did not vote for Obama. He and I have many personal and political differences that could not be overcome enough for me to vote for him. However, I still feel that it was a remarkable moment in history. Knowing our countries past so well ( the Civil War era is where I have concentrated most of my History studies), and believing that slavery is one of our countries worst sins, What a moment it was to have an African-American elected President. His acceptance speech brought tears to my eyes, and hope that finally our country can begin to forgive itself and heal from so many wounds. My prayer is that God will continue to bless this country, and that our new President will seek God out during his service to us.
