My experience today

Like most Americans, I was watching the Presidential Innaguration this afternoon. But unlike many, I was watching the president's swearing-in and acceptance speech in a roomful of seminary students. I wasn't sure what to expect at this event, but it was immediatey evident that almost everyone there voted for the other guy; the crowd was silent and solemn. Well, all except one woman--an African American woman who at first was crying and then silently cheering Obama on as he spoke. It was an experience I will not soon forget. What I will remember most was the strong impression in my spirit to begin praying in ernest for our president.

Kat-
I feel the same way, but I am also praying for the safety of my family and fellow American's.
I'm quite glad to know that I have another conservative-minded friend
