Catching my breath!

Well, I have been just a little busy lately. Between Halloween and life, it has been crazy around here. Today I am reflecting on what happen to our nation tomorrow when we have a new President. No matter who it may be. I am very concerned for my children and their children. I was 2 weeks away from delivering Emily when September 11, 2001 we were attacked by terrorists. I have to say that for the first time, I wondered what kind of world we were bringing our child into?! It was very scary and I contemplated it a long time over those two weeks. Of course, that time came and went, and time and the everyday business of life have put concerns like that in the back corner of my mind. But, today, they are back. My children are old enough to understand that something is happening; they just aren't sure what. I tried this morning to let them know that whatever happened, we would all be okay. . . although, I am still trying to convince myself! I pray that we as a country will be okay and that God continues to be with all of us and guide us and our leaders in a safe direction. Fortunately I left my kids this morning with not so heavy thoughts (heavy thoughts to them!); they are having a mock election for President today and plan on voting for Spongebob Squarepants over Jimmy Neutron! Oh if it were so easy.
