During this cold month of January the United States is quite euphoric about the Inauguration of our first black President, Barak Obama.<\/p>\n

N.C. has even suspended road construction on 85 & 95 with the expectation of heavy traffic heading to DC beginning today, Saturday, through next Wednesday.
Busloads of folks have already left from the Raleigh area, and many more will be leaving throughout the weekend until Mr. Obama takes the oath of office Tuesday morning….<\/p>\n

However I tend to lean politically, I must say I am proud of a lean, handsome, bright, & intelligent, bi-racial gentleman becoming President. As Americans we all should hold our heads a bit higher on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The word “hope” is on thousands of lips as people speak of Obama, and he does give hope to countless Americans that achieving lofty dreams is possible. He is a role model as he begins his Presidency.
Our job will be to pray for him–for Godly wisdom & discernment daily, & for safety for him & his family.
Godspeed, Mr. Obama–I pray for God’s Hand upon you. He has given to you an immense & solemn responsibility.
Let us realize though that only one Man gives “HOPE”….<\/p>\n
