I am going to make a change to the theme for the blog. So things may be bumpy for a few days .
Thanks for your patience.

I don’t think we’re going to get out of this thing. I’m going to have to go out on faith.
On September 11, 2001 my wife, my 3 year old daugher and I were home enjoying the arrival of our new adopted son who was three weeks old at the time. Only a week before my wife had made the return flight home from Florida and my daughter and I had flown home the previous week. Our biggest concern had been the normal summer turbulence over the deep south.

Todd Beamer had a wife and children and a baby on the way. Thankfully, they were not with him on Flight 93 when it was hijacked by Muslim extremists. And thanks to the actions of Todd Beamer and others with him, there were a few less widows and orphans on that terrible day. Beamer and his associates discovered that day what all of us should understand. That at any moment, we may be called upon to stand up and face down evil.
Thanks to Todd Beamer for answering the call. And may America always have such fine men and women to stand up for the innocent.

Just wow.
Last night Gov. Sarah Palin delivered an amazing acceptance speech at the RNC. Amazing because she was just thrust into the limelight a few days ago, has been beat up in the press, and has never given a speech in a crowded convention hall with the entire country watching. Within a few minutes, she hit her stride, got the feel of the crowd and just nailed the entire speech. She made it look easy.
Palin introduced her family and her story. The plot line was simple. We are typical small-town Americans and we understand you.
The suprising part of the speech was the effectiveness with which she skewered Barack Obama. Palin killed him with humorous mockery as did Giuliani earlier. It will be interesting to see if the Obama campaign responds to the provocation. I think that may be exactly what McCain wants. Will Barack Obama feel forced to explain just what a “community organizer” actually does?
One thing is for sure. The party base is now united and excited. This morning, no one is talking about Barack Obama. It’s all Sarah, all the time.
