Today's the day. Inauguration day for Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. I don't need CNN to tell me, I know its a historic day.

There are some people who are very excited about today, and some that are very upset about today. Regardless, its a day that changes the course of the Nation into the hands of the next person who will attempt to guide us in our attempt to be the longest surviving constitutional republic in the history of mankind.

Where do I stand? In my kitchen with my family. In my church with people of faith. At the homes of my family and friends. I stand knowing that my hopes and dreams are not pinned on a politician, a movement, a way of life.

Traumatic events have a way of providing some perspective. Usually people will spend some time reflecting and realizing what is truly important. Its not stuff, its not sports, it not politics. Its being able to freely worship God and love the people who are close to you. No president will ever change that for me.

Enjoy today and the coverage. Its historic. But remind yourself that the greatest part of our nation is not who governs us, but what opportunities we have as Americans.

The Bible says "he who the Son sets free is free indeed". When you know what it truly means to be free, you walk with a different outlook and mindset. You realize that your future is positive and your outlook bright. You exist knowing that through trials and successes that your life is in His hands.

Remind yourself of that freedom today and walk in it. Be excited with the prospect of a new day. Be excited that there is a God that loves you and wants you to be free!


Be Blessed today.
