The United States of America is a shining city on a hill. It embodies the hopes and dreams of mankind. It is not perfect, and no American is perfect. But we try to do our best to honor ourselves, each other, and our fellow citizens of the world.
Our elections are over. We have a new President and First Lady, Donald and Melania Trump. We wish them well, because our fates and theirs are linked inextricably. Our destinies are shared. The future of our great and noble republic is entrusted to them.
May they serve wisely and prudently, and honor God.
