An Historic Day

As I sit here in my home and take in the day that has past, I am amazed at what I see transpiring on the television screen. America has proven to the world that we have matured as a people. And, we have proven the great promise that our nation offers to all of her citizens, the promise that all her sons and daughters can grow up to be whatever they aspire to be. I would never have believed this possible even a year ago. To quote the scriptures, "my heart runneth over" at this moment.

All reports seem to appear to be leading the nation towards an Obama electoral college victory of somewhere in the range of 367 electoral votes. After the long dark night of eight years of an inept presidency that cloaked itself in secrecy, the people's house will be returned into the light of a greater and brighter future. President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden will face many challenges. We all need to resolve to join our new leaders in a spirit of unity to work hard for the improvement of our nation and the support of our fellow citizens less fortunate than we are. It is said that much is required to those who have been given much. That statement is truer tonight than at any other time in our nation. May we all resolve to unite and build a brighter future for ourselves and our nation.
