I don't know whether to chime in with the hallelujahs or begin singing ding dong the witch is dead!

Just hours from now, history will be made, as Barack Obama will be sworn in as this country's 44th President. What a grand occasion.

I am filled with hope. I am excited.

I find myself thinking about what my grand parents reactions would have been. And I am thankful my views about race and color have been changed.

I don't know what all the comics will do for material. I suppose that will be Dumbya's legacy. The gaffs, and mis-spoken words, the wrong word use.

I suppose we have seen two extremes, how someone born in political circles can achieve the presidency and how someone has risen through the ranks to the office.

Have a day!

FATHER, I ask for YOUR blessings on our new President. I pray for his cabinet members and advisors. I pray for safety, I pray for good decisions. I pray that they will be accountable for their actions to all of us, to themselves, and to YOU. YOU bless the USA.
