Our New President

 President Biden

President Biden gave a great speech full of hope and promise.  I wish him success and good health.  

It did however remind me of my forty years in Rotary.  Every year around the first of July a new president was elected.  Every year that person would stand before the club with great plans and goals.  Excitement abounded.  Then the year started.  The doubters started saying “we can’t do that”.  The old members would say “we haven’t done it that way before”.  Some of new members say “We should do more”.  All that and more splatters through the fan and just a small portion of the new goals get done.

But, every year some of the goals get done.  Good things happen.  Progress is made and a small part of the world is bettered.

I pray for President Biden.  I sincerely hope he pulls us together.  I sincerely hope the hate and distrust lessens.  I don’t approve of many of his goals, but yet I am much more optimistic than I was a year ago.

Good luck President Biden.  You are my president.  I am rooting for you.
