You are wasting your time

Many a times I have to remind the enemy that he is wasting his time trying to put me down etc. Once God has settled it, its settled! Stop wasting my time trying to remind you the evil one!

And yes, not we can, but we did. Obama has won the election and the whole world is really still trying to grasp the significance of this victory. I read an article of Obama's half brother in Kenya saying how impropable it has been for Obama to be the US president.

The article wrote: (Obama's) story is that of a grandfather whose stubborn will found a match in a austereity of Islam and drove his son to seek a scholarship abroad, which in turn led the young man to Hawaii, where he met and married Ann, a Christian, and had a son - who, at 47, will become the first black President of the US.

I feel Obama is the personification of change. Change mindset, change values everything. I mean people in America is still saying that just 100 years ago it will be outrageous to even have a US president shaking hands and welcoming a black guest into the White House, and 100 years later we see an African American occupying the Oval Office. This is CHANGE man.

Its my prayers that he will move in God's wisdom, and be a man that can live up to his words. I think the world has seen too many broken promises made one after another. But people are giving Obama another chance to prove them wrong.

Well Im not a politically inclined person (unlike my brother), but I think to live in such a time to witness such a historic event is trully amazing and deserves my attention. 200 - 300 years down the road when Im with the Lord, my descendents will be talking about the day when US chose its first black president.
