Inauguration Day!

I had to come home for lunch to catch the inauguration. I do not blog about politics, and I won't today, but I will give you my thoughts on this day:

I am incredibly proud to be an American!

What an eloquent and heart felt prayer by Pastor Rick Warren.

What an inspiring sight to see the hundreds of thousands of people in attendance waving their American flags!

What an amazing day in US history where we can elect a black president. Martin Luther King Jr., your dream has come true today! We are moving forward as a country!

Inaugurations are about our country and not partisanship, about the democratic process, and the peaceful transition of power.

Let's be faithful to lift up our 44th president, Barak Obama, in prayer. He has a huge task before him.

I hope and pray that President Obama can be a catalyst for much needed change in our country and in our world.

I am hopeful.

I wonder what President Bush's personal, private note to President Obama says.

I echo the words of the benediction, "Lord, lead and bless our president."
