Inaguration Day 2009!

‘A New Birth of Freedom’ ~ the 2009 Inaugural Theme

"A New Birth of Freedom" commemorates the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The words, echoing across 200 years from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address, express Lincoln's hope that the sacrifice of those who died to preserve the United States would lead to "a new birth of freedom" for the nation.

At approx. 12:00 noon, President Elect Obama will take the oath of office and become our next President. He will be sworn in using the Bible that Abraham Lincoln was sworn in with.

Political affiliations aside, this is truly a Great Day in American History! Something that has never before seemed possible will occur as Barack Obama is sworn in. Our Country will have elected it's first African American President!

I'm proud of our country and all that it has accomplished over time. I know that the election of any new president doesn't ensure that things in this country will get better, but I believe that we as a people are hoping so much for a good change of any kind, that maybe, just maybe, great changes will be able to take place and take our country to a whole new level of growth and security and togetherness.



The challenges that Obama faces are many....it will take time for things to get better if that is what things are supposed to do. All we can do is Pray for the President and for his family and for our Country that our new leaders will turn to God and pray for guideance in their daily decisions. We have the possibility to become a great nation once again! While it is foolish to believe that any one man can make all of the changes that this country needs right now, with God's help, maybe quite a few of those changes can be realized! Just keep the Obama's and our Country in your prayers daily as we enter into this new time of leadership!
