A New Day Dawning for Our Country

 And the end of an error. 

May our new president tackle the giant mess left by his predecessor, strengthened by the  knowledge that the majority of the country supports him and is happy to see the last of the whiny creature and his toadies that have defiled the people's White House for too long. 

May Congress call on their better angels and come together to help the country recover from the many ills that beset it. 

May we all seek Truth . . . and Reconciliation.

So might it be.

Amen.

From Every Mountainside . . .

A few days after the terrible events of 9/11, a neighbor down the branch painted this flag on his barn. Since then it's been a long, sad time for our country.

Our new president embodies so many hopes, so many dreams -- and he faces as dire as mess as any president has yet had to deal with. So many giddy expectations -- so many naysayers poised and eager to find fault.

That's me over there with the giddy ones -- delighted to see this day. I wish I could believe that Obama had a magic wand to deal with all the problems facing our country but I know that one man didn't get us in this mess and one man can't get us out.

It'll take all of us.
