Yesterday was Inauguration Day for President Obama. I didn't want to miss history unfold so I put Halle down for a nap and turned a movie on for Hayden. The house was quiet so I could focus on the event of the moment. I watch as President Obama was sworn in as our 44th President. I was very impressed with his speech and found myself wanting to find hope in his words. I am not a fan of politicians, I believe most of them do it for self gratification. I do believe for now that President Obama's heart is in the right place and that he truly wants to fix what has been broken. It will take time, a long time to fix the economy, the system, and the government. I think it is just as much our job as Americans to come together and help as it is the governments job. It's a two way relationship, and I believe many people have forgotten that. They rely on the government for too many things too often.
So for now I pray for our President to have wisdom and our Country to pull through. I pray that we can get back to our origins. Back to where our Founding Fathers intended America to be..."One nation under God!"
