As I sit here and listen/watch the election results, I am deeply saddened. I worry about the future of this great country when we elect such men. I fear for even more turbulent and volatile times ahead. Although we have been warned repeatedly, it is still alarming to think of what is to come.
My young children even fear the future. Tyler came home from scouts talking about the election and when he saw the preliminary results showing Obama winning, he stated, "here comes World War III." When a 10 year old child is fretting over this, you know there is something wrong. When I just informed Annee of the results, I could see her face just fall. They know that there is trouble ahead also. I have not spoken to them very much about the election, but I know they have focused a lot on it in school and now tonight at scouts. It's amazing how much children take in and comprehend. It's also very sad, knowing how much they worry.
I love this country that we live in. I love the freedoms we enjoy and the democratic process that allows the people a voice in the government. I am grateful for the choices we have. I am just very afraid the country has made a fatal choice today. I believe this is just bringing us one step closer to the Millennium. I pray for the safety and security of my family and will watch the new presidency with interest.
