I would encourage everyone else to do the same from their blogs whenever they choose. You are ever respectful, ever kind, and ever hopeful. Your Tuesday post was entirely in character and not in any way derogatory towards people with feelings different than yours. <BR/><BR/>And from what I can gather about you, your hope is to comfort those who may feel unhappy right now, but to go forward hand in hand with them into our very new world. <BR/><BR/>You are always an inspiration to me.

I filled my journal with prayers for all of us, Obama included. I did read a book by Max Lucado that states, No one comes into power without GOD allowing it, not Obama, Bush, Hitler, Saddam, JFK, none of them; they are all a part of God's plan for the world. Being a Christian, the Bible demands that I vote biblically-based on moral principles-, I do feel that this country turned it's back on God a long, long time ago and we may just be getting what we deserve. Ok, enough of that...have a wonderful and safe time on your anniversary trip and I can't wait to see pics of NY!!!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715282357082276967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-1470630487103292932008-11-05T08:11:00.000-06:002008-11-05T08:11:00.000-06:00Writing a letter to your children was a nice idea....Writing a letter to your children was a nice idea.

I understand your need to inform your children of what was happening in the world when they were young, but what I don't understand is your need to post and "voice" your own personal opinion. True-it is your blog, but there are many other blog authors who had a post today pertaining to the election who were coy enough to leave their opinion out of the matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-35344522128677309582008-11-04T18:54:00.000-06:002008-11-04T18:54:00.000-06:00Excellent!
