Anybody else glad that if nothing else, all the crap ads, signs and banners will go away? Seems like they’ve been campaigning for this thing for 2 years … the Dems anyway … McCain wasn’t even on the horizon as a candidate (nor Obama for that matter) 2 years ago.
If nothing else, I’m glad the campaigning is over. Whoever ends up winning this thing is going to be the man in charge, and the leader of the United States of America … and either way, we’ve got to get behind praying for this new administration.
I wonder if there was such an intense division over transition when Jefferson took over for Adams, or when Grover Cleveland took over for Benjamin Harrison who took over for Grover Cleveland, or when Taft took over for Teddy Roosevelt?
Well whether your candidate won or not - pray for wisdom, pray for strength, pray for courage, pray for discernment, pray for compassion, pray for blessing on this next administration.
I agree, I am glad this election cycle is over, it has been a long time coming. I agree also that we will need to pray for our leaders now more than ever. Some conservatives have been saying how they’ll give the current administration as much support and loyalty as the Dems gave the Bush administration these last 8 years; I think this is foolish and immature (although very tempting because of the human desire to “get even”) and I will definitely try to avoid falling into this line of thinking.
Oh and great name, I’ve met other Jamons but none that spell it the same way.
