Tuesday is Gone, Wednesday is Here

What a Tuesday! What a night! It's been a long political race between the candidates and a sense of closure has been achieved. Now, it's not my aim to discuss my personal opinion on the outcome of the election, I am merely pondering the fresh events that just transpired. It all happened so fast. At 11pm eastern time, NBC announced the presidential elect, Barack Obama. And just minutes later at 11:15pm, Senator John McCain gave a difficult, yet bravely heartfelt message to all of America about his concession. 

Meanwhile, thousands gathered in Chicago's Grant Park, thousands of eye witnesses fortunate enough to experience the full emotion of the moment. And emotions revved high. Tears flowed as they celebrated victory. Then, just before 12am, Barack Obama took the stage and gave his speech as presidential elect. It was a moving speech of hope, freedom, and a better America. It was well delivered and Grant Park ate it up.

In the coming days, it will interesting to see how the U.S. and the world responds. I can only pray that God will bring about peace between the two parties and that the generous promises of Barack Obama this evening will not be forgotten, and sincere actions will follow through to back his word.
