The American people have spoken, and have spoken clearly indeed. Barack Obama is the President-elect. The other day, I witnessed as history unfolded before my very eyes. For the very first time in this country, an African-American had been elected as President. A hundred years ago, who would have thought that this would be possible? But Barack Obama proved that indeed, with hard work and determination, everything can be made possible. Obama has successfully carved a name for himself in this nation’s history. And I applaud him for it. But I have to admit, I was in tears as I listened to McCain’s concession speech. I wished things went differently for this man who endured so much to serve this country. But now that everything has been said and done, it's time to move on. McCain is right. In his speech he urged his fellow Americans “to offer our goodwill and our earnest efforts, to find ways to come together….to bridge our differences to help restore our prosperity, defend our securi...

I voted early! Yes, Joe and I have cast our votes yesterday, after 2-1/2 hours of waiting. It was not that bad, after all, we were inside the library in a line that wound through a maze of books, audio CDs and videos… (Hey, they have adult movie videos in the library??!! That was a shocker) Anyhow, it felt good to exercise my right as a citizen. I took a stand and let my voice be heard… all without even uttering a word! This was my very first time to vote in the U.S., and may I say, for not just any other elections.

Now you might ask, who did I vote for? Well, let me tell you - I voted for NEITHER of the candidates. What??? By this I mean that I voted not for any personality, not for any party nor for any platform. As a child of God, my real party affiliation is with Jesus and His Word, the Bible. Thus, I would vot...

Today marks the beginning of the early voting for the US Presidential elections here in Florida. I don’t want to go delve into a discussion of who you should elect, but I just want to encourage you to vote. Exercise your right as a citizen of this country. Participate because you care. And as a Christian, please choose the candidate whose principles are in line with the word of God. Choose the one who fears (reverends) Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and guide you in this very important choice. And most of all pray. Pray for this nation. Pray that the RIGHTEOUS one will prevail; that the one who wins is truly the one whom the Lord has appointed to govern this nation during this very crucial time in history. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. (Proverbs 29:2) IN GOD WE TRUST!
