Friday was an exceptional day for the McKinnon household.
You see, we're not very connected with the world...let alone the political scene. We live, love & farm in Central Oregon. We don't have television & haven't for seven years. News comes to us via radio & internet...which innately filters what we really didn't need or want to know.
All this to say: the news of Sarah Palin's selection as John McCain's running mate for Vice President reached us quickly & shook us up a little. We each separately found ourselves reading articles & watching video feed of her acceptance speech...through bleary eyes & with amazement at the new hope welling up with us...for this election & for our nation.
This blog is a reflection of our commitment to pray daily for Sarah Palin during the upcoming campaign....and God-willing, her Vice Presidency! Please join us by visiting often, commenting, & offering your own prayers for this woman whom we are convinced God has prepared and appointed for "such a time as this."
Lord, we thank you for this "ray of hope" in what has been to us a disconcerting presidential campaign. We pray, Lord, that Senator McCain's selection of Sarah Palin is a reflection of his heart & commitment to values issues near and dear to OUR hearts. Give Sarah the strength & grace to face the scrutiny of the coming weeks & stand ever-true to her convictions. Amen.

Thanks for sharing...
Lord once again, like so many times before - you have come through for me.
When I saw no hope in this political race, you drop this wonderful lady, Sarah Palin in our laps to prove once again that you are still on the throne and still in charge.
Lord I ask that you will help her deal with all the stress and lies that will be told about her and her family. I beg you to protect for her life against those crazy people and corporations that value money over a human life. I also ask you to keep her family close to themselves and to you. I pray that Sarah and Todd will seek you first in everything they do and not be guided by pressures from special interests of any kind.
I love you Lord and I never cease to be amazed by the love and concern you have for your people. I am proud to belong to you Father.
In Jesus precious name I pray Amen!
Lord, we lift Sarah Palin up to you on this very important night. We pray that You will fill her with the Holy Spirit and that You will guide and direct her words, bless her with wisdom and with Your heart so that Your will be done. Please place a hedge of protection around Sarah and her family tonight and always. Please bless our nation. In Jesus name, Amen!
