Obama-nation

So today was Obama's inauguration.  What an amazing time in history!  I must say he has the prettiest daughters.  I can't believe they smiled the whole time!  I stayed home from school and got to watch the whole thing unfold on CNN- I couldn't believe how many people were there! Although I am not a politician and may not agree with a lot of the things that he supports I  do have the respect a citizen should have for their leader.  As Obama has become president I keep over hearing racial comments or complaints about him that really get under my skin.  Yes, it was rude of citizens to not clap for their former president Bush, but if one does not clap for Obama because others didn't clap for Bush aren't they committing the same fault? I don't know I just hate hearing people talk down about others.  On a lighter note, I saw the movie Slumdog Millionaire last night and it was amazing!  Once of the best movies I have seen in a while!  I am obsessed with India and countries like it though so I am bias but it really was a great movie.  

Going on spiritually: Lately I have avoided having my long quiet times with the Lord and cut them rather short just because I have been rushed or lazy.  I have realized that I am giving into Satan's temptations by doing so.  He wants us to think we are too lazy to talk to God or too busy to sit down for a few scripture readings.  Satan loves to make us waste time because then we are wasting time we could have been spending worshipping or praying.  I'm not saying that in order to talk to God you must be in complete solitary confinement all the time, but I am saying that we must remember God in everything we do and praise Him with our little tasks.  Don't let Satan make you believe that he can steal your time with God.  Quiet times are precious and essential in a believers daily walk with the Lord.  God will always make your day work according to His plan which includes talking to Him.
