Pray for us!

We know God has plans for our lives. He has brought us together with our unique testimonies to share with others the gospel of Jesus Christ.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." 1Peter 3:15

Pro-Life Palin

I thought that Al Mohler's comments on his blog deserved a special spot today, so I am posting his link here. The comments and those he used from around the country are examples of what people are saying about our new vice president candidate and her family. I have discussed Sarah's family situation with my wife. I initally had concerns for her running and serving as VP with a family of 5 which includes a newborn, down syndrome child and a pregnant daughter. My wife says that if she can handle her family and being the governor of Alaska, she can surely handle being Vice President. I have to agree with her.
What do you think? Is there a double standard for men and women in office?
From Al Mohler's blog:

Labor Day 2008 came with a bang as Hurricane Gustav plowed into the Gulf Coast and as the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain revealed that the daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is five months pregnant, and yet unmarried. The word spread quickly, even as Americans celebrated their end-of-summer holiday with an unusual attentiveness to the news.
A statement released by the McCain campaign got right to the point, quoting Gov. Palin and her husband, Todd:
"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents."
The release added little to that statement, other than that the father is an 18-year-old named Levi and that the young couple plans to get married.

I think she represented herself very well last night in her speech. Her bio says she is a member of an Assembly of God church.
What do you think of her?
