Proud

In light of President Obama's Noble Peace Prize award I feel the need to make some comments. Why is everyone so grumpy about this? Can't we just be happy that our President received this amazing award? I hear people criticizing the fact that he won the award based on his ideas and not actions.  This man has been in office for less than a year. Real change comes from action and most actions start out as ideas.  There will be no peace in this world if there aren't people out there promoting it and dreaming "big".  People criticize and say that he is promoting peace for Muslims, or African Americans, etc......  Well what if he is? Isn't peace for everyone. Or can we just exclude a certain group of people and say that they don't deserve peace. I think that we are all children of God and that we are ALL deserving of peace, no matter our race or religion. Christianity teaches that. Or is it just more convenient to say that we believe that on Sunday at church? Change is hard. People talk and talk and talk about change until it affects them and then it is a whole new ball game of not wanting to be bothered because it is someone else's problem ( wow run on sentence). 

I am so happy that someone is recognizing this incredible man. No, he is not perfect, but none of us are.  Congratulations President Obama... for dreaming and seeking for a better tomorrow.
