Farewell Mr. President

Whew! At this moment, I am watching the former President and his wife board the helicopter that will take him to Andrews Air Force Base. I will admit, and it won't be a surprise to many of you, that tears are being shed in the Spivey household today. (Mostly by me - the boys have tears, but for other reasons). My heart is saddened that he is no longer our president, yet so thankful that the Lord placed him in that position for "such a time as this." How grateful we should be for a president that was a man of integrity! He made his decisions and stood my his convictions - and was not swayed by the liberal media or influences. Not only did he enter the highest office in the land with class, but he is exiting it in the same manner.

I agree that this was a Historic day! Not only did we watch a peaceful transition of power but the country inaugurated the first African American President. However, based on this man's stance on issues (abortion, gay marriages, the war), and the record that he has, I am not thrilled that he was the one inaugurated. Will the Spivey Household bash the man? Not at all! He is our President and we show him respect and pray for him as he leads our country. Because all of us can agree that he has the toughest job and deserves our prayers. We will agree with everything he does? Most likely, not! Yet, the fact remains that he is our President.

We will miss George W. Bush and we will pray for President Barack H. Obama.


He was our first president!
"Mommy, Can't Duck be president?"
"No, Honey - Honestly, a duck wouldn't make a good president!"






Watching history being made. Because, honestly, history was made today.

Look at those sweet boys! This picture makes me want to cry it is so cute!
