If you'd told me a week ago that we would be listening to NPR's (National Public Radio) coverage of the Republican National Convention, I would have assured you that would never happen...I didn't even know the dial location of NPR in Central Oregon...but I do now...93.1 FM.
As we wrapped up a marathon day in the tractor, we got to thinking about Sarah Palin's address to the Republican Convention & decided to "surf" the radio to see if I could find it. We tuned in a couple hours early (each in our respective tractors), so we got to hear Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee (let's start praying he runs for President again in four years), Rudy Guiliani & others. Very interesting. We agreed that we're thankful we didn't tune into the Democratic Convention, if tonight's speakers were any indication of the vein they run in.

From what we heard tonight, we're not the only ones excited about Sarah Palin.
Lord, continue to bless Sarah Palin with her unique combination of toughness & grace. Her words tonight about the special blessing of Baby Trig brought tears to our eyes. And yet she is showing herself to be more than the "girl next door." Give her the ability to assimilate information quickly & to succeed in winning over her skeptics. Thank you for the wonderful witness she has been over the past few days as the media banter questions about Bristol...she is showing the world how a Christian family handles the tough stuff...with a whole lot of love & grace. Amen.

My favorite quote was "hockey Moms are pit bulls with lipstick."
Lord protect Sarah and her family. Help them remain strong physically, emotionally and spiritually in spite of all the attacks they will now endure, especially from the media. Who would have dreamed you would raise up an Esther for such a time as this. We praise you for your great wisdom and provisions.nmgyveb
