What a Country!

All eyes were on Washington, DC as our 44th President was sworn into office. As I watched the proceedings, I couldn't help but be ever so proud of my country. We have much to be proud of in America tonight ... a peaceful transfer of power, our first African-American President, the kindness and grace that was shown on both sides of the aisle today ... may what we saw today continue. May we be a nation that looks out for each other and listens to each other. May Christians across our nation pray, pray, pray for our new President ... pray that he would seek God's will for our nation, pray for his safety and the safety of his family, and pray for those who surround him, that God would grant them all wisdom. (Proverbs tells us that God holds the heart of the King (or President) in His hands and turns it however He chooses ... take comfort in that!)

And, lastly, I have to give a shout out to Rick Warren. You were given a moment to share the gospel and you did not waste it. You did not squander it. You were bold. You were kind. You showed the love of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen.
