I had been undecided as whether to watch the swearing in of our newest president today.  For my family, it is a dark day in our country’s history.  I feel no optimism.  

At about 12 noon, I decided to turn on the TV and watch the swearing in.  Well I lasted about 2 minutes before the tears of sadness began to flow.  I spontaneously found myself praying out loud through tears for the future of our country.  Then I shut off my television.

I read recently that we have entered another “Dark Ages”, where babies are discarded like yesterday’s trash and the moral fortitude of the average citizen is at an all time low.  I do believe that. 

But I also believe in a God that is so great that He can overcome all the Obamas in the world and He has the victory.  Praise God!!! And it is to this that I cling on this dark, dark day…
