Obama or McCain?

Its so wierd to know that by midnight tonight we will have a new president. I wont lie, I am worried about the outcome either way and what it will mean for us as a whole as well as it impact on the people of America. I am worried about rioting either way and I am worried about race becoming the biggest issue between americans in a long long time. I know it may seem like an odd fear to some but I hope I am proved to just be overly worried as usual and my fears dont come true. Either way I will not be going anywhere without a loaded gun for a while and I will also be sure to have my doors locked always should any rioting begin. My first priority are my children and home and those I will protect to the death if need be.


Well, I am ashamed to admit it, but I let the hype of the internet and media get me into a fear and panic yesterday and I can honestly say the I am still 100% behind my candidate of choice, President Barack Obama, and I am not worried about race deviding us anymore. YES WE CAN! Now remember, I was never afraid of Obama getting into office, I was afraid that there may be ignorant upsets in the general community both Black and White and thats where my fears came from. I was never worried about Obama, just what the emotional overspill may be from the race outcome. Last night and today have proved my fears irrational and I am back to feeling strong about the future of the USA for my children.

God Bless you all, and God Bless the USA!!!



On yet another somber note,
I need prayers. My grandfather has had another setback and I need prayers for strength for him and my grandma. My prayers obviously havent been enough so any that could be spared would be much appreciated. I am still going to see them both in 2 1/2 weeks and hopfully by then my grandpa will be a bit stronger and my grandma caught up a bit in rest. This is such a sad situation and I am in awe of the strength that has been put foward by my grandparents on both sides. I try not to imagine how I would do all that my grandma has if I was in this situation, mostly because I dont think I could do it all. Keep it up guys my heart is always with you.

Take a moment and hug your spouse or kids or dog or friend today. Each day is a gift, embrace it!

Til tomorrow
Robin
