Somehow I woke up at 1:20am this morning - praise the LORD - to witness this moment in history on TV (in the warmth of my home)...to catch the last few minutes of the inaugural speech with these ending words:
"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.May the God of George Washington, the God of the Bible, the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob - be the God of President Barack Obama.
There is NO OTHER matter more important than that.
