Our New President

So today we know that Barack Obama will be our next president. We did not actually stay up to find out last night. When I woke up to pee in the middle of the night, I checked then. While I did not vote for Obama, I'm not all doom and gloom as many of my fellow conservatives are. This country has "survived" many democratic presidents before this. Plus, this is why we have the whole "check & balance" system in our government. It is not like Obama can do something crazy and get by with it. I do not expect my life to change much. I understand my tax money may be going for things I don't approve of, but we are to give the government it's due no matter who is running it. In fact, my tax money goes for a lot of things now that I don't approve of. We will be the same people, do the same things, and believe the same things. Some of Obama's tax breaks may even help us. And if my house sells because he is president and the country is now optimistic, great. I have read many people posting about praying for our country, especially now. I believe it is always right to pray for our country and its leaders. I pray that Obama will be a good president and make good decisions. Perhaps what we need is a drastic change in this country. We really won't know what difference he has made until his term is over. No matter what kind of government we have or what decisions they make, I will continue to live the life God wants me to and to trust him completely. I can never go wrong there.
