How Should We See Our Future President??

Another perspective on how we should see our future president... This is from the blog, "A Soldier's Perspective". He has some excellent points. In my last post I discussed "supporting our President-Elect". I do support the position and I do pray that it hasn't been sullied through illegal contributions and financial influence from our enemies and that it won't be tarnished through the upcoming administration. I also agree strongly with the author, CJ, that we will not "treat him with the same disrespect and overt contempt that the Democrats and others have given to President Bush during the past eight years - especially the past two!"

Rather than discussing whether or not to support him, I chose to say that we should seek God's will for our nation. From John Quincy Adams: Duty is ours, results are God's. We did our duty. We put forth great effort and it did not happen. I am wondering what all the silver linings will be in this. Certainly one silver lining is that Prop 8, the amendment in California defining marriage as being between "one man and one woman" passed and may have very well passed in large part due to the overwhelming black turnout; they voted 70-30% in favor of its passage. As they say, "so California goes, so goes the rest of the nation". A very similar initiative passed in California in 2000, with 62% of the vote, only to be struck down by the California Supreme Court earlier this year. This year it only passed by 52% of the vote. Had it not passed, I would hate to think of the rest of the nation going that way. So, we are waiting to see what the future brings, we are watching to see what the Democrats do and above all we are praying that the Freedom of Choice Act doesn't ever get passed (he now apparently has called for something else to be the first bill he signs) and that God protects our nation. We are praying that our nation will be the nation our founding fathers fought for, one that guarantees the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
