Words can’t express how I felt watching Barack Obama give his speech last night. It was a blessing to live to see an African-American (45 years after Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech) accept the nomination. History turned into Destiny. It was Obama’s destiny and he has made us all proud.

This is one of my favorite parts from Barack Obama’s speech:  “America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise – that American promise – and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.”
