Congrats to our new president, Barack Obama

Woke up at 6am here in Copenhagen to see how the race was going - and Obama won!

From WORLD Magazine:
"From Nov. 4 to Nov. 11": Regardless of who wins the election, it’s great to be an American | Marvin Olasky
"That's why the winner on Nov. 4 should take to heart the Midshipmen's Prayer of the Naval Academy: "Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and in deed. . . Protect those in whose love I live. Give me the will to do my best and to accept my share of responsibilities with a strong heart and a cheerful mind. Make me considerate of those entrusted to my leadership and faithful to the duties my country has entrusted in me."

Since both major candidates state that they are Christians, all of us should pray for more midshipmen's grace in the life of the president-elect: "If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me the courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and keep before me the life of Him by whose example and help I trust to obtain the answer to my prayer, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
