In a few weeks we will start another journey in America with a new chief at the helm, but with the same sailors rowing and steering.  Those of us who are called by the name of our Lord, must already be in prayer for our new and current leadership.  This is the most important thing we can do for our country.

It is not a time for panic.  I don't trust our President-elect any more than a dark alley, but he has been very up front with the changes he wants to make for us; disagreeable as they may be.

Barack Obama will be our new President and that's a tune we must live with for the next four years at least.

Let's make a difference; let's work to build him up, not tear him down.

We should join the Presidential Prayer Team or something similar in our local community and maintain active involvement in prayer for those in authority over us. 

We should walk in wisdom and grace, ready with an answer and ready to lend a hand where needed.

We should be always mindful of who we are, ready to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

If you are called by the name of Christ, live up to the Name to the best of your ability; lean on Him for all.

Pray for me and I'll pray for you!
