Winds of changes can be good and sometimes the boat needs to be rocked least we are all lulled to sleep. More than ever, I hope the people will remain sensitive, both those who won and otherwise. The results are decided and now it is time for some to reflect and some to act.

The people have make their choices and may the new and reelected leaders justify that by proving themselves worthy of this mandate and trust from the people.

and No, please no Napoleon the Pig (from Animal Farm) Oink!

Lord, may your goodwill and favor continue to rest in this nation.
Thank you Lord for carrying us thus far, please help us to walk in ways that pleases You that we may continue to prosper and enjoy peace and growth.
