We have been to Alaska several times, that is, the Juneau airport. Looking out the large glass windows next to the huge white polar bear, the terrain looks awesomely fierce. This past Sunday evening what a privilege it was to see Alaska from the eyes of someone we think of as a friend, Sarah Palin. She brought us all into her life, and home and what we saw we loved.
From baking cookies, to facing brown grizzly bears to climbing a rock to see Russia? What a wonderful life. You would think why would someone want to get involved in the ugliness of politics and leave the beauty of Wassalia? The only reason I can think of is that the Palins love America.
We are seeing America begin to love the Palins!
These past few weeks have been a roller coaster of events volcano's, murders, politics, scandals, and wars. It is so refreshing to watch a family live their life consistent with their talk.
Last night on "Dancing with the Stars," the underdog Bristol Palin made a very quiet statement, that she believed God has a plan for her life. And in spite of competing in one of the sexiest dance competitions on TV when it comes to the ladies, she has managed to get to the semi-finals, as a lady thanks to her partner, Mark Ballas.
We are seeing a change in the way the world is looking at America. After the elections, we saw the landscape of the political parties turn America red! With spots and patches of blue looking like minor imperfections. We saw millions of people turn up on Washington's doorstep simply to say with Glenn Beck it is time to turn to God.
Naysayers who have written off America as a nation gone pagan, have to rethink what they are seeing. The nation is coming back to God and it feels good and it looks good.
Atheists who proclaim there is no God are questioning themselves once their "good life" is interrupted with financial reversals and illness. There is a shaking in the religous establishment as well, as more and more insincere and immoral leaders are being exposed by themselves and by God giving their congregations a choice - to stay and continue to participate in the ungodliness and unholiness of their influence or leave and look for a church that maintains integrity and preaches from the Bible and not from someone's manual for success.
The unsung heroes of the gospel, the faithful pastors of little churches are finally being recognized for their true spirit of leadership as they say from their pulpits things that are not "politically correct," but morally and spiritually correct.
America coming back to God feels real good!
