Today, Barak Obama will officially become the 44th President of these United States of America. It is a historic occasion. Many will think I am referring to Obama becoming the first black president in our history.
But I am not.
It is, of course, historic in that sense. However, it is much more important for another reason of history.
We do not realize how unique our transfer of power is in human history. The wheels of power goes from one man to another. Not by a coup. Not through a civil war. The transfer of power will occur, not amid bloodshed, but amid peace.
This is a very rare occurrence in human history indeed. We have been blessed in this nation and today's Inauguration is a reminder of that fact.
So I pray for our outgoing president, George W. Bush, for long life and a big thank you for standing firm in the face of severe criticism thereby keeping our nation safe.
And I pray for my new president, Barak Obama. May God give you health and safety and wisdom in abundance.
