President Barack Obama was sworn in on the Lincoln Bible. He delivered his inaugural address to America this afternon. It offered hope, but was fairly somber in light of the state of our nation.
I loved the way he began with "every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms." He went on to say, "In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned."
It gave me chills when he said, "why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath." Amazing!
