Today, 20th January 2009, at precisely 12:00 noon Eastern time USA, America sworn in the nation's first African-American president.
Yes, Barack Obama at only 47 and an African-American, finally fulfilled the great civil rights leader, Martin Lurther King Jr.'s dream to become the 44th president of the United States, truly a historic day and reflects the sustaining maturity of the American citizenry.
You should read his inaugural speech which is full of challenges, hopes and fears, commitments and responsibilities and of course, he has not forgotten God's grace too. It is still available at cnn.com.
America has a new leader. For better or worse, a new era has begun.
It is hope that the new president will be able to bring about changes in our life time, that will make not only America but also our world, a better place for all to live in.
On this auspicious day, I am inspired by this beautiful song, sung by Brian Doerksen entitled "Creation Calls". Listen to the lyrics, can you see the beauties and wonders of God's creation?
