I voted yesterday. Only took 30 minutes. It was organized, efficient, and pleasant. All good.
The results are in. We have a new President. President Obama.
I am glad the election is over. This one unfolded for over 2 years. I am tired. And ready to move on.
Elections bring heat. Voices get heated in debates. Friends and family members frequently divide. The nation's differences of opinion often teem with heated words and gestures, even insults. It can be difficult to move forward after all the harsh words and heat.
In Sussex County, Delaware, they practice "Return Day." Tomorrow, the candidates will return and parade together to show that they pledge to work together, to bury the hatchet on their differences and hard feelings, and to move forward as one. The town almost has a carnival-like feel on Return Day, and the candidates perform a ceremonial burying of an actual hatchet.
That is a really healthy practice. Division does not help in the long run. Unity does. More importantly, as you know, I am a proponent of forgiveness. Forgiveness offers the greatest spiritual power for transformation in this world. Hurts and wounds are transformed by the grace of forgiveness. Healing occurs.
On Return Day, remember the words of Colossians 3.13:
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-12 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!

John McCain should definitely attend Obama's inauguration and they should work together. After he lost the election, McCain does not have to appease the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party (also known as the Palinites) any more. Maybe he can redeem himself after all.
Well written and gives us a lot to think about.

"God's will be done". I believe in God, seeking the truth of Him.
Yesterday listening to AM770 KTTH(Limbaugh and Medved), I
saw the scene which is under the radar of news media.
Amazed by the huge and deep and wide range of work and
invasion of Satan, the crafty serpent. Obama taking the
America's highest office is just the tip of iceberg. The corruption
and on the verge of destruction of educational system, commu-
nication channel, labour and economy structure, high places
such as courts and judicial system. Deceit is the Satan's tool.
Politicians lie and the ignorant is deceived. I want to know what
the true cause of Sub-prime mortgage collapse and who, really
is responsible? AChitose
system, communication channel, labour and economy structure
Why should fundies disappear from politics more than any other group? Even the groups I strongly disagree with I will still hold they have a place in our political structure.
Because Christian fundamentalists want to take away my rights. Also, Christian fundamentalists have been very damaging to our country in the last 30 years when Christian Coalition, Moral Majority etc. started rearing their ugly heads.
I think certain political movements are incompatible with a free country. Quasitheocratic movements are in that group.
