Tomorrow, a new president takes office promising change and urging personal responsibility. Sometimes, these words are applauded but are just that...words.
But how about the US Airways crew and the many barge captains, helicopter pilots, and rescue personnel......having faith, taking action, and accepting that they had to take immediate responsibility. The results, all aboard safe and sound. The immediate alternative would have been hundreds or thousands dead in Manhattan or New Jersey.
Yesterday, at my Sunday school class, a lady came back to teach after a 1-1/2 year fight with cancer. She spoke of her faith in a larger purpose, not being angry that this happened to her, because life is not about her or us. We all have a purpose and sometimes have to endure the worst ta gain the best.
I think that now, regardless of your political stripes, Mr. Obama represents an opportunity to make a change, make a difference, not for just for him to act, but for all of us.
