The Palin Effect

everfaith

Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  After watching Governor Sarah Palin’s speech last night, it was obvious that John McCain has picked not only a woman with exceptional leadership qualities, but also one who possesses a natural gift for oratory, as does her opponent, Barack Obama.  Even the liberal-leaning pundits were taken by surprise with her powerful speech, calling it a “slam dunk.”  Chris Wallace even said that ‘a star was born’ and that Palin has won the hearts of the GOP. But then Obama’s campaign released a statement noting that Palin did not write her own speech…as if that was supposed to … Continue reading The Palin Effect

I’m very tired today after spending it all day out of the house for our first homeschool co-op of the year, so I will make this post short. Regarding Palin’s teenage daughter being pregnant and planning a wedding… Kudos to the family for walking the walk.  Being true to the pro-life cause means standing up for life even if means totally altering your life.  God created the universe to have natural consequences.  When animals mate, babies are made.  It’s natural.  It’s what happens. Then man comes along these past fifty years and encourages teens to put off marriage until after … Continue reading Walking the Walk

By the end of his career, there were well over 100 men serving who actively sought to follow Christ in their lives by their actions, not just by their words. Wilberforce wrote a book full of … Continue reading A Thinking Woman

Finally, Some Common Sense!

everfaith

Throughout this long, drawn-out political process, I have been amazed at the lack of sincerity on the parts of the candidates.  If John McCain had picked Mitt Romney to run as his VP, I would have voted for Bob Barr.  (Who’s he?  The Libertarian candidate).  It had absolutely nothing to do with his Mormon religion and everything to do with his demeanor and his past actions as Governor. John McCain just threw a monkey wrench in the Obama campaign’s momentum with his selection today of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP pick. It was almost comical to watch the … Continue reading Finally, Some Common Sense!
