I've spent the time since the election alternating between feelings of hopelessness and fatalism. Last night and this morning I've begun to recognize an opportunity to (in the words of Beth Moore) "show" Christian character.
For years I've been frustrated and irritated at people who spend all their time abusing and criticizing President Bush. I've decided I am not going to be one of those people during the term of President Obama. Don't get me wrong...I am going to actively work on getting a pro-life, pro-family president into the White House in 2012 because that is my right as a citizen of the United States. What I'm not going to do is be constantly down on our new president.
Was he my choice? No. Does he believe what I believe? No. Does he deserve my prayers, support and allegiance? Yes.
BTW, I didn't write more of what Beth Moore wrote because it's so much better to read it in her own words. Here's the link to her blog...check out House United
