Welcome, President Obama

There is so much and so little to say about Tuesday's inauguration of President Barack Obama that I'm leaning toward the latter.

His speech, which I heard on the radio, stopped short of blaming the Bush administration for Hurricane Katrina, making it seem his definition of change may simply be "anything different from the past eight years."

I do believe and fervently hope that there rests within Obama and his staff an abundance of fresh, workable, winning ideas. Thankfully, he continues to stir the American people to act. Therein lies perhaps his biggest challenge, convincing them to take charge of their own lives.

Our prayers go with him.
