Put your money where your mouth is!

Yesterday Washington celebrated the inauguration of President Barack Obama, and I do mean celebrated. With an estimated cost of 170 million dollars, President Obamas inauguration was the most expensive in history. 170 MILLION DOLLARS...HELLO! How much does it cost to drill a well in Africa, I believe through Seeds of Hope it is like 1,500 or 1,700 dollars. How many people is this country face foreclouser, granted it is not the responsibility of the government to bail out private citizens only major corporations and banks. Didnt the man get elected with promises of change, and vowes to stimulate the economy? Didnt he say just yesterday in his speech that countries like ours can no longer ignore the poverty of the world? 170 MILLION DOLLARS...RIDICULOUS! I do know that the 170 million dollars did not come directly out of the Presidents pocket, but I do believe that he had a awesome opportunity to take a stand and show the world and the American people that he does intend to bring about change. I believe that he could have said as President of the United States I can not in good conscience accept such gross overspending on account of my inauguration. I believe he could have directed the money to be spent on a more worthy cause. Up to this point President Obama has done a lot of talking, talk talk talk. I think that the cost of the inauguration was a meaningless waste of money. Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God. Ecclesiastes 5:7 I am not concerned with the color of his skin but the content of his heart.

I will continue to pray for our country. I feel that now more than ever God fearing people need to pray for our country.
