Pondering Palin

Posted by Kris

I was visiting over at here this morning and I was shocked at the number of "Palin Post' over here...I had no idea many were questioning as I am...BUT what I noticed was division among people....It shouldn't be that way...It made my heart sad, that so many cannot ponder their own thoughts or feeling with other "Christians" because they will be made to feel like 'freaks' or somehow unchristian if they disagree with a woman in office...One post even referred to people to think that the woman needs to home is a "know it all"....how very sad...Also one said those who 'question' Palin are for Obama...People just don't get it....Did any of us ever stop to think that this division is not of God?? That quite possibly Satan has jumped on the "Palin" bandwagon and is totally using this situation to divert our attention from what the real issue is?? and that is "What is best for our Country" weather it be McCain/Palin or the other the true heart of the matter is 'Who will uphold "YOUR" values, "YOUR" morals, "YOUR" liberities!! Period! If you do not feel either party will uphold "YOUR" values then you have a right to decide to not vote...that will NOT make you a bad "Christian" or a horrible "person" it just means you are exercising your God given freedoms...there may come a time when you cannot do that, you will not be given a choice...enjoy it now...We should ALL(including myself) pray about what we are to do..and after praying in earnest you are led to vote for Obama who I am to stand in your way? If you led to vote for McCain, Awesome! If you are led to not vote, so be it...its not my place to judge anyone...but I do have a right, just as you and everyone else in america has the right to his or her own opinion...and none of us have the right to attack the other just because our opinions differ...maybe, just maybe if we listen to the other side we might learn something! I am personally not a  fan of a woman being in the White House in a that position...before you gasp and choke on your coffe let me say this...I love the woman, she is kind, she is pro-life, she is sharp, BUT she has a family and in that family is a special needs child. As a mother of a special  needs child I personally know the amount of time it takes to raise a child like that...as much as we want things to be 'normal' they are not. I am sure she will make a great VP if elected along with McCain, however with that said...she needs to be home with her children...Example: Her baby is seriously ill, but she has peace talks with Iran...which gets neglected? The child or Iran peace talks? Kapish? Think about if McCain died in office Palin would be in line for the President, how will she balance home and office...I mean really, she will be running the U.S....our country is in perilous times we need someone who can be focused on this country...I don't know...its just silly the way this has become so divided...For those that are pondering Palin in office not being a good thing..I commend you for stating your opinion...Thank You...for those that think its ok...I have also read and considered your opinions...thank you...Who will I vote for...Certainly not Obama, but not sure for McCain either...Not voting does  NOT mean a vote for Obama....it means simply not voting!

Crafting...

Hello friends.  I am so glad you dropped by for a visit today.  My pile is growing right? I have been spending most of my alone time in the evening working on different projects for the festival, only 22 more days!  I have actually sold 2 sets of pumpkins off my kitchen table, so I am thankful for that.  I know I had someone say they were interested in buying but didn't know how, just click here on my Etsy shop or you can look over to your left and click... you can find all my goodies there. :) Thanks!
Like I said, Shannon has been on an out of town job and so I have had quite a bit of time to myself after the children have gone to sleep... so my hands have been busy. 
We have been schooling wherever I have been crafting... it is nice to spread books all over the floor and let the children work, a change of scenery is good for them sometimes. :)
I again want to thank you all for your kind comments and prayers for us during this time of uncertainty.  We are so blessed to have so many care for us and pray for us.  We appreciate you guys more than you know!!!
***Hey, is the Autumn Cottage too big for you ya'lls screen, it fits on mine, but I don't want it to be wonky on others. Please let me know.***
xoxo

As a hockey mom myself, she is dead on right when she says:

"The difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom is lipstick".

So I was gonna pull the R anyway.....just with my nose held.
NOW I can pull the R with a smile on my face.

She is a snapshot of the 'typical American family'.
She was a PTO mom 10 years ago.
ONLY in America can you be a PTO mom and 10 years later, be the Vice President of the United States of America!
Her dh is a blue collar.
Her son is joining the Armed Services.
Her youngest has Downs.
Her teenaged daughter made a wrong choice and is now dealing with its consequences. She didn't run to the dr. to have her baby slaughtered. She chose life.
She hunts. BIG game.
She's got spunk. Something America has been robbed of.

I am sure, just like me, old girl has some skeletons in her closet.
I am also pretty sure, it isn't that she is tied to terrorist.
I am pretty sure her preacher doesn't hate white folks AND America.
I am pretty sure she's not a muslim, or comes from muslim decent.
I am pretty sure she's not a socialist or communist.
She may have bones in her closet, but I'll bet they are bones like mine or the gal down the street, not like the "big politicians" running against her!!

In a perfect world, where there was no sin and we all followed God's Word.........she'd be home. Adam and Eve did a bang up job in the garden making sure that didn't happen. It is a refection of our public education (primary, and secondary) that there are NO MEN worthy of the VP nomination. It is the product of the 'feminization of our sons" in pre-school, cub scouts, boy scouts, Sunday School, Youth Group, public and private schools, colleges and so on. It is also the product of the elevation of women over men.
We can sit back and point our 'Holy' finger at everyone, but guess what............what are we doing?? Sitting at our computers whining and crying about how wrong it is. Sure. But what are we doing to 'change' that direction. I mean, in the real world? Are we teaching a class? Are we mentoring? Are we reaching out to a lost world? Or are we sitting in our Holy Huddle of 'like minded ones' pointing fingers???

She's a hockey mom.
I know what a "good" hockey mom is made of.
She's got my vote!!
