A new President
This is a topic that I haven't really wanted to touch with a ten foot poll. I have my political beliefs and I believe that they are just that - mine. I think that this is something very personal and not something that should be shoved in people's faces. So because of that belief, I haven't responded to any of the groups e-mails about anything political.
However, today is a new day and a historic day. Whether we voted for him or not, Mr. Obama will be our next President. As President he deserves a few things from us. 1) He deserves the respect that the position of the President holds. I want to make sure that my daughter realizes that the President deserves the respect of the American people. This is a very important job and like him or not, he is our President. 2) Like we did for all Presidents before him, President Obama will need our prayers. Every day I pray for our country and currently every day I pray for our President. When President Obama takes over, he too will need our prayers and this is something that I personally need to remember.

New Youth Group
Tonight we started a youth group at our new church. We had 5 great kids that came out and thankfully we were only missing one (due to amount of homework). We did an icebreaker to get to know each other better and I learned that these kids are great fun. Very giggly at times, but very fun. One of the questions on the form I had them fill out was favorite sport - this of course brought up the topic of Michael Phelps. It seems, not only is he my daughter's favorite athlete, but he is also a favorite of all the girls. There actually came a point in the night that I had to forbid his name from being said.
Our lesson was Jesus & Peter walking on the water and how we need to depend upon Christ to be our friend. We did lots of "friend" games to help begin to build friendships.
I think it is going to be a wonderful group and I can't wait to get more involved with them. I am hoping that we might even do some trips for fun.
