Not to take my good friend's tag line but last week was history in the making. Doh! Our great nation swore in its 44th president, Barack Obama, and I concluded my final week at Cornerstone.
I was able to watch the Inauguration from the comfort of my home (more on that later) and here are some of the highlights as I saw it:
Prayer by Dr. Rick Warren
Rick Warren: What a prayer. What an honor to be asked to lead the invocation. What a platform to point people to Jesus Christ.
Aretha Franklin: (thinking) I just worked that song... and that hat!
The Crowd: 2 million. Woah.
Dignitaries & Political Icons: Classy. I felt a sense of pride and respect for them on that day in spite of the fact I may disagree with their politics past and present.
Chief Justice John Roberts: (thinking about the oath) For the love... WHY didn't I write this down!?
President Barack Obama: (thinking about the oath) For the love... WHY didn't you write this down?!
Me: *puking*
Parade: One too many marching bands but great talent.
Yep, I was puking. Food poisoning. Its not how I imagined that I would spend such a historical day, nor the story I want to tell to my grandchildren when they ask about such a historical day. The chinese food didn't work for me.
I am proud of our nation, enjoyed watching the ceremonies and I am committed to pray for our new president, his family and his cabinet.
