Time to United as Americans

Thankfully the election is over! After a shockingly negative and very divisive campaign (there way too long and expensive), whether or not the candidates we supported were elected to office, it is now time to put aside our political differences and unite as a country behind our new leaders. Only in an environment of non-partisan cooperation, especially in times of unprecedent crises like our country now faces, can we effectivey do the work that will bring the better times that the candidates have promised. It's time to put aside politics and effect the "CHANGE" that the electorate mandated in Tuesday's election. We Americans and our elected leaders need to put our country above our political interests. As hard as it may be to do, given the passion that some of us have for our political viewpoints, it is important that we PRAY for our leaders and ask God to bless them and our country. So, as Christians, let's lift them up in prayer (even if they represent an opposing political party or viewpoint)...and then, as responsible citizens, DEMAND that all of our elected officials work together applying good old-fashioned common sense to solving the many problems that threaten our country and the well-being of "we the people", the still-proud citizens of the United States of America. God bless America! I know that I have been blessed to be able to call her my country...and Patrick, my county!
