Considering all the unnecessary (in my opinion) post election tension floating around, I just want to lighten the mood a little.

A couple of weeks after Mo boo was born, my big sister Harriet, Mo's godmother, who is just oh so crafty, knitted the prettiest hat ever for Mo Boo. Over the summer while rounding up my MBA, Harriet helped me babysit Mo one of the nights I was in class. She took a picture of Mo with the hat on and sent it to me. Whenever I get pictures, I usually take a snapshot of it with my IPhone and save it to my picture library. Well recently, I was with my sister-in-law Renny and her daughter Izi. I told Renny about the hat and proceeded to pull up the picture from my phone so she could see it. After she looked at it, she handed the phone back to me and Izi came up to me and of course also wanted to take a look at the picture. Here's the picture...

Ahhhh!

She took a look, turned to her mom and said, "Mama why is my baby cousin wearing that basket?" My goodness! I laughed SO hard, I think I was close to tears!

Three days ago Harriet sent a text with the picture below to the family, that brought the biggest smile to my face. She graduates from Law school next year and on Tuesday, they took their class pictures. Words cannot express how proud I am of my sister!!!

Two cents disclaimer... I am a firm believer that it is the will of God for President Obama to have a second term. Long before President Obama was formed in his mother's womb, God knew him, called him by his name, and destined him to be the President of the United States of America for two terms. It wasn't luck. It was him over time preparing himself to walk into his destiny. Now, if we all will just for a moment, take our minds off ourselves and not focus on hate, race, political party affiliation, policies, and so on, and just for that moment consider the circumstance surrounding President Obama's win stemming back to 2008. Something in you has to admit that God has His hands on this man. If you believe in my God, the One who sent His son Jesus to die for the redemption of our sins, whether or not you care about the President or his policies, please tap into that agape love your Bible teaches you about and join me to cover the President in the wisdom, strength, and fear of God as he takes on the next four years. Thank you.

Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend. Mine will be a BLAST!!!
