In our nation's history, there are many days, years and even decades that we are not proud of. Our nation began with a small group of folks seeking freedom to express their faith without fear of persecution. It quickly became the land of opportunity. Not long after that, slavery came to define our country and nearly split it in half. The slaves were freed, but were never seen as equal. Over the last 40 years that inequality has evaporated. Today was a day that our nation thought would not happen for several more decades to come. We elected to the highest position in our land, a black man to lead us for the next four years.
While our family did not vote for him (not because of his color, but rather for his political positions), we will pray for him and his administration. We recognize the importance of this day and what it means to our nation.
We hope his administration is able to live up to the promise of "Change We Can Believe In." We pray that the change is honoring to the God he stood before today with his hand on His Word and is honoring to our great nation.
