History Made

History was made yesterday. It was inevitable.
We were either going to have our first female presidential candidate or our first African-American presidential candidate. All political views and or biases aside, this is a time that all of us should be proud of. I am proud to have a man of color rise to this esteemed occupation. When so much about America is ridiculed and lambasted it is good to know that we are making progress.

Here is how we will know when we have really arrived. When we no longer find it necessary to mention a man or a woman’s ethnicity in the conversation we will be on the way. It will be a day of days when they are simply known as Americans and when we only refer to them as the Senator from New York and the Senator from Illinois.

I really dread the next 150 days. For the next 150 days we will tear at one another and name call and divide all in the name of democracy and liberty. While I can appreciate the democratic process I do not appreciate the politics. At the end of the day, my prayer is that as Americans we will be united in our desire to be great. Not great in the bully or police of the world sense, but great in our humanity and great in our morals and great in our love. Most of all I pray that we will be a people that will turn or return to Almighty God. What we need more than anything is the blessings of God on our country.

Celebrate this historic day. Participate in the process. Pray that God will be glorified in these United States of America.
