Today is a big day in American history. And I really don't care if you are Republican, Democrat or somewhere in the middle like me...today is still a really big deal.

Barack Obama is taking office as our 44th President today.

I don't use this blog to promote my political beliefs...and that is not my purpose today either.

Today is monumental. We live in a country that has a deep rooted history of racial issues and segregation. Our new black president is taking office at the U.S. Capitol that slaves helped build many years ago. Today reveals a significant shift in the hearts of Americans. It reveals a barrier being broken down and equality becoming more of a reality.

I pray for, and stand behind our new President. I encourage you, no matter your political stance or beliefs, to do the same thing.
