It's a New Day

Taken from the a song title of a James Brown song. There is a new day in America with the election of Senator Barrack Obama as President of the United States. The inspiration in me began to flow shortly after 11:00 PM eastern standard time when all the networks simultaneous announced that Barack Obama was the President-Elect. The announcement brought joy and tears to some and complete silence to others. It was the "New Day" arriving.

It's no need to list all the problems of what was before Barack. There are many characterizations. The only thing that is important now is that Americans of all persuasions unanamously and electorially voted that change was over due. Free Market dogma has bankrupted the country and the middle class. The time is now to take the "god" like admiration from former President Ronald Reagen and realize that his free market and deregulation principles did not account for the "greed and evil" it ultimately produced.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely and corporate interests ran amuck through unregulated markets leaving decificts, huge unemployment rates and too few owning to much. The people rose through a brillant campaign by President elect Barrack Obama. And many are claiming responsibilty for the victory. When the annoucement came I praised and shouted for this was a moment for God to get the Glory.

There are many that don't believe in the Bible or God and I respect their positions but for me it is clear that it was God who orchestrated all the episodes to bring his new "Joshua" to the forefront for his people.
