Since the elections are over, I am encouraged by all the people who I have heard or read about who are praying for our newly elected leaders. I was also encouraged by the long lines and good turnout. We should always be praying for our nation, our leaders on every level of government, and of course our troops who are serving here or overseas. Especailly those who are in dangerous places. I am deeply thankful that we Americans can stand in long lines to vote rather than in bread lines. We are in a financial crises, and a moral and spiritual crises. If there were ever a time to pray it's now.
