Proverbs 29:2 says: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." So.....I'm wearing black today....in mourning for this country. I tried to prepare myself for the bad news this morning, but when I actually heard the news report and heard the words "President Elect Obama", my heart sunk and my stomach turned.
So, my husband and I tried to think of anything positive about the outcome of the presidential election and we did come up with a few things.
1. Living in Delaware and putting up with 36 years as Joe Biden as our Senator, we are finally rid of him (I know.....at the country's expense, but still I'm just trying to think of something positive).
2. For the first time in 8 years, I will get to complain about the president and blame everything bad that happens on him (as the liberals did for President Bush the past 8 years).
3. There will no doubt be LOTS of material for Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other conservative talk show hosts.
4. Tina Fey will have to get another job.
5. I have to believe some good jokes will come out of this administration - Joe Biden alone can provide loads of material.
6. Therefore, there will have to be lots of things to update on my blog.
7. Most importantly, no matter what, the Lord is in control - that's a comfort in itself.
We should continue to pray for the nation - it will need it more than ever now!

With every obstacle put in our way, our efforts to leap over them must become greater. I am a bit discouraged, but possibly more motivated than ever before. 2010...here we come.
I am discouraged too Jeramy, but I just keep saying "The Lord is in control" and I feel better. 2010 is not that far away!
