Who knew?

Here we stand after the election and wonder now what? Money spent, doors knocked, miles walked, and now the work begins. Momentum is something to admire. For both candidates this was a good race. I wish I had more of chance to hear the debates and speeches. Often I feel we live in a world that does not value rhetoric. We cannot sit long enough to truly digest a good speech to save our lives - only unless we are given a 10 minute break for a snack. The craft of public speaking can make or break a candidate - but that is only half of it. The other half comes with character.

What do we look for in a leader? The calling to an elected office shapes and conforms a leader. All the best to those who have achieved public office - to our sheriff here in Allamakee county to President Barrack Obama.

Truly a historic day has come to our nation.

Peaceful thoughts as I head off to Postville for text study...
