God's in His kingdom...all is right with the world

I was frozen in awe and tears at Aretha's joyous rendition of a song of joy to our new president, our country, and our God. Did you see the flags all flying and the sun shining as Ms. Franklin shook America. God smiled at this joyous event. Thank you, Aretha-from a Vietnam veteran in Missouri.
