A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM

Dear Mr. President,

You are the hero of so many Americans. Our prayers are with you and our other leaders, and your beautiful family!

I have been close to tears so many times today. I am proud again of our government and leaders, and I pray that out Heavenly Father keeps you in the palm of His hand--keeps us all in the palm of His hand.

I was just watching Beyonce--this very talented young woman who is inspired by the example set by you and our wonderful First Lady--like so many of us--she said she wants to be smarter and make lasting contributions to our country.

When the cameras panned the crowds this morning, I was so excited to see the vast number of young people who are obviously thrilled to be a part of this rendezvous with destiny. I was touched to see all of the races and ethnicities represented in the crowds who jammed the parks and lined the streets. This is something that so many of us "counter-culture" young people of the 60's & 70's only dreamed of. It is a dream come true!

I am exhausted this evening, so I will go to sleep instead of continuing to struggle to express the joy that is in my heart.

God bless you, President Barack Hussein Obama. Thank you for being the man you are, and may you keep God's will in the forefront of your mind and heart as you lead our bruised nation back to health.
