"HISTORY IS KEEPING ME WARM"

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING......I am watching TV and there is this vision of connectedness and HOPE...love between black & white, all 2 million of them huddled together in the cold, warm from love for this man who is leading them through a change they can believe in ......Then I turn to CNN world and see Israel turning Gaza into a parking lot. I look into the eyes of children and see no hope, no connectedness, just a promise of awful things to come. But Saudi Arabia is offering $1 billion to help build back Gaza.....so maybe all is not lost, Gaza was a dump before it turned into a parking lot so again out of every evil cometh good as just maybe there is hope for those people going through the rubble of what used to be their homes.
The interesting thing is that BARACK OBAMA is not just the hope of the United States of America. He is the hope of the world, and when I remarked to a friend about what I was seeing on the TV she said "don`t worry Barack is here now, he will straighten it out."
The hopes of the world is on this man. It's a good thing he is a spiritual plant so he will be able to weather the storms on behalf of everyone's hopes and dreams.
U know there were no arrests yesterday, 2 million (majority black) people and no arrests! Can u imagine ? An ABC announcer said he overheard a woman asking her daughter if she was cold and the young woman answered " history is keeping me warm."
How unbelievable an experience when u heard how cold it was.......
How pretty the first family looked on the podium, their clothes a riot of color.
Then came the scare with Teddy and we saw our leader sad, then we heard he was fine and onward to the parade .
Everybody was scared when the President and his wife got out the car and started to walk - in fact everyone held their collective breaths, one announcer said how brave this young couple was, but I believe no one there wanted to harm him. The amount of love that was there, no evil could stand against it.
There are a lot of sad people this morning who had tickets but didn`t get in to the swearing in. I knew when I turned on my TV at 4:00 a.m. yesterday morning and saw people on the go getting settled choosing their spots, I knew those people who had tickets and would arrive at 9:00am were in trouble....and sure enough by the time they arrived,the line was too long, the wait was 3 hours and the gates locked on schedule and Barack took his oath without them. They were lucky they were at the gate, lots of people were still on trains, some still at the station, James Carver said he walked when he saw that nothing was moving...............
The lesson from this was, although hearts were breaking, no anger was expressed, everybody took their disappointment home with them and wished their new leader well.
A sign that CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN HAS COME INDEED !
