Nobel Prize!

Wow, Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. I'm stunned. It is wonderful, but at the same time daunting. I continue to have high hopes for him and his work. I am truly sad that those I live around here in Utah can't let go of their hate mongering long enough to see the good he is trying to bring to the world. It is sad that those outside of our country can see it more than most Americans. When did we stop being an noble people? When did we stop seeing the good in each other?

Is it too "early" as some think? I hope not. I hope that this vote of confidence will strengthen Mr. Obama and will help him in the darkest hours when his very people rage against him. Doing what is right and what is good is often not what is popular. Christ Himself did what was best for all man kind and was killed for it. May we all strive to be worthy of this award.
