Election 2008 is in the books.
Barack Obama is now the President-elect of the United States of America. What a journey he has made! And we will have a young, vibrant First Family to inspire continuous participation especially among young people. Barack was elected by the young people with a little help from their voting elders. It is a joy to see new life in people's faces reflecting new hopes and dreams for our nation.
Thank you, Senator John McCain! You are an American hero, and you are a gracious man, a statesman, to have conceded so magnanimously. I pray that your work in the senate will continue to be for the good of our country. I can imagine an Obama-Biden adminstration with you in a prominent cabinet position. And it would be magnanimous and smart of our new administration to use your talents to our country's best advantage.
On a personal note, I am disappointed and frankly hurt, that anti-gay marriage constitutional amendments have been added to the constitutions of Arizona, California and Florida. I almost expected it in Arizona and Florida, but I was appalled that California mustered enough deluded "Christians" to pass a blatantly discriminatory admendment. What will become of the marriages of over 18,000 couples who are married in the state of California since the California Supreme Court ruled that marriage was a right for gay couples as well as straight couples?
It must break the heart of God to see such vitriole from His children in the name of Jesus Christ who taught us to love one another. Discrimation is not a Christian value.
