Wow! What a difference a week can make! Just to think that we have had a new president for one week, but so much is happening so quick.
Many people ask me my thoughts and I sometimes share them, but not all the time. It is amazing to think about the dramatic change that has happened so fast. The question is, will all the changes work? The answer is - no one knows!
No one knows the results of the President of the United States granting his first one-on-one interview to a Middle Eastern news agency.
No one knows the results of reaching out to a part of the world who doesn't like to say we want to be your friends and listen.
No one knows the results of closing down Gitmo.
No one knows the results of trying to be friendly to Iran.
No one knows the results of the government beginning to take ownership stakes in private corporations.
No one knows the results of passing an economic package of $850 billion that won't be felt for 3 - 5 years possibly.
No one knows the results of San Fransico's new $500,000 dog park they'll get as part of the economic package.
The bottom line is that it is a new day in the United States. While many people say it's great, and many people say it's terrible, the bottom line is the same - we don't know!
What we do know is that we are called to pray for our nation and our President. Let's pray that this new day will be marked by God's hand!
