"Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive ... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]." America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America."

When I went into school to volunteer for library today they were quickly getting their books and eating lunch early so that they could witness the inauguration on television. So I made a point to watch it when I got home. This was a great speech today one that inspired me and reminded me of the great honor and freedoms that we have as Americans. If nothing else Barack Obama is a great speech giver- the rest is yet to come. (I am not being pessimistic just cautious.) I do so hope that God's grace may shine upon us all and that we will be blessed as we persevere in times of difficulty and triumph!
