My New Look

Well, I figure if I don't get a new look, at least my blog can!!  I've spent a couple of shameless days updating and "beautifying" my blog.  Hope you like it.

Now What?

Depending on how you voted, you are either exuberant or devastated about now.  The results are in and Barack Obama is the newly elected president.  When things go one's way, we love democracy but when it doesn't - well we aren't so excited about the democratic system.

This much I know to be true:

• The USA is strong because of its democracy
• Freedom is never free
• The Bible specifically calls us to pray for our leaders and
• God's Providence is always at work!!

I pray for our country, our leaders and our citizens and I hope, when I am put to rest, that the world was a tiny bit better because I was here.

Vote!!

As we study the Middle Ages and all the injustices the people endured, I am reminded anew of our wonderful, beautiful right to vote.  A right to express your opinion, a right won by blood.  So, I am on my way to vote, hoping the lines are not too long but also hoping lots of people voted.  

Freedom is never free!!  I see that more than ever now....
