I am so thankful for our country. We have been so blessed and I think that has caused us to take many things for granted. Our freedom is one thing that we take for granted and we are becoming reckless with it. I fear that our complacency is going to be the cause of the death of our great nation. We are supper vigilant about attacks from the outside but our destruction will come from the inside. Not with guns but with changes to the law here and there while we slumber and bask in our complacency. Abraham Lincoln once said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Unfortunately, I think that time is closer than we think. I pray that people wake up and take a stand before it's too late. I don't want to loose the freedoms that we have. The freedom to worship my Lord, the freedom to raise my children as I see fit and to teach them to love and honor their Creator, and the freedom to homeschool (that so many fought very hard for in the 60's/70's/80's). I pray that I'll be able to homeschool my children through highschool. I love being the one to see the lights go on when they get a new concept. I love being able to instruct them in the ways of the Lord 24/7 and tying their faith into many of their subjects. Homeschooling is hard work but I love it. I love guiding and directing my children's education and exploring the world with my children. I love showing my children that learning doesn't happen in a certain building or during certain hours during the day but that learning happens all the time as long as you are alive. My youngest is 3 so I have many years of homeschooling ahead of me. I want to keep that freedom but it appears to be on a thin thread. Our country appears to be moving farther all that it was founded on and as we move farther from that we will loose more and more freedoms. I hope that our nation wakes up before it's too late and our leaders stop lusting for power and pushing for what "they" want and start focusing on what the majority of the people that they serve want. |

Sarah Palin said that she will not seek Re-election in 2010 and that it’s best for Alaska’s future and will transfer the power of governor to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell in a few weeks. She feels that this would be in Alaska’s best interests. I am a huge supporter of Sarah Palin and this saddens me but I totally understand. Her children have been attacked mercilessly and her family has been run through the mill. I pray that she will continue to be an advocate for traditional values, polictical reform, and for special needs children. Best wishes, Governor Palin. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord let His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. I will continue to pray for you and your children. Lt. Governor Parnell’s response |
