Inauguraiton Day, a day for gratitude. . .

Whether you voted for Obama or not, whether you think he will be a great President or not, in my opinion, Inauguration Day should be a day for gratitude. It is remarkable that our great country has a civil and peaceful transfer of power. There are so many ruled by despots and dictators, men who promise to bring change and democracy but then end up becoming the evil they themselves overthrew. America has a fine tradition for criticizing our politicians, as we should, but regardless of our views we should all be grateful they are honorable men and women who step down when they are voted out.

I may not agree on many things with our new President but I pray for him and hope he will be given inspiration and judgement in his new role.
