On the eve of the election that may make him the next president of the United States, Senator Barack Obama now must mourn the loss of his grandmother who was one of his biggest supporters during this season. In this time of loss, I pray that Barack and his family would be strengthened by remembering that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Let the family cleave to the wonderful memories they have of Madelyn and may Barack take comfort in knowing that his grandmother is watching him from above and will be praying for his strength on tomorrow going forward. Let all those who will pray for the strength and courage of Barack Obama in the hours to come.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
