Drew and I flew through the doors of our house after a morning of errands, quickly ate lunch, and settled on to the couch to watch the Inauguration.
All morning long I’ve been praying for the Bush family and Obama family as this day has to hold so many different emotions for all of them. The historical richness of this day fascinates me. And the somber tone of this day puts me in awe.

“Give to our new president Barack Obama the wisdom to lead us with humility, the courage to lead us with integrity, the compassion to lead us with generosity. Bless and protect him, his family, Vice President Biden, the Cabinet, and every one of our freely elected leaders.”
