All new

This week ushered in many new beginnings. We have for the first time ever a President of color- in his own words a "mutt". Our country turned out in droves to vote Obama in as our new president. It is  the greatest joy for so many, and the greatest sorrow for others. But it is  what it is and now we must cover this man and the office in prayer.

On a more personal level, my brother-in-law, Mark Ellis, was re-elected to his Criminal Court bench. We are so thankful for that, especially since all the other Republican Criminal Court judges up for re-election were NOT voted back in. They were the victims of straight party ticket voting. Mark is the Lone Judge standing, and for whatever reason we do thank God for this!
