As you all know, here in the United States, we have a new president. This topic is quite touchy for some so I'll try to be as careful as I can with my words. Many of us do not agree with the man recently put into power. He has already made some bold decisions that affect many other countries beside our own. I feel like through the past years we have not stayed true to the morals of our country. I remember on my trip to New York City a few years ago gazing up at the Statue of Liberty. As I traveled along Ellis Island I saw all the places where immigrants had come in looking for hope. I had somewhat of a personal connection to this place. Both my great grandpa and great grandma had traveled across the ocean from Europe to America during the war, For so many years our country has been seen as a beacon of hope and refuge. During the election people tend to focus on 'how will the candidates effect ME?' we forget how much the chosen candidate will effect the rest of the world. I challenge all of us to think beyond ourselves. In election situations and everyday situations we have to remember how severely our actions and choices can affect someone. But above all, whatever challenges we face as a country we must remember who is truly in charge. And who will truly never fail, Jesus.
