Politics unusual

This week we've seen some politics as usual and also some of the unusual. Senator McCaine's surprise pick for his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin was little known outside Alaska, but is making a huge splash across the US.

I'll let you make up your own mind, but I have been prompted to pray for Sarah Palin. I believe she is a Christian: please see this video of her speaking at the Assembly of God Church that she grew up in: http://www.onenewsnow.com/Election2008/Default.aspx?id=239060

Gov. Palin will face an onslaught of pressure from the media. Her family has all ready felt some of the negative effects from being at the center of attention.

Let's keep her in our prayers: wisdom, faithfulness, and the ability to stand up under scrutiny.

I love the phrase from the book of Esther: "for such a time as this..." Perhaps we are seeing an application of that phrase in Palin's life. Where is God taking her?
