Picking Sarah
By Julie Kay Smithson

Like the rest of America, the media is abuzz with talk of Sarah
Louise Heath Palin.
Pundits proclaim this, that and the other, fairly stumbling all
over themselves like puppies in a basket, seeking to make their
readers/listeners/watchers believe this, that or the other. Career
politicians are still stunned, stammering and caught totally
off-guard.
How could this miracle have happened? The bottom line may be
something far more special and infinitely simpler: Maybe God
picked Sarah.
After all, McCain is not looking all that overjoyed with what
is being reported as "his choice" of a running mate.
In fact, in several video clips and photos, McCain actually appears
to be in a bit of a fog.
His choice
Maybe it was His choice:
God's choice, not McCain's.
That would explain the fact that no one knew before the actual
day before. Maybe God reached down to Planet Earth and chose
the fruit most needed to assuage the hunger of America and the
world for a real statesman, patriot and someone with backbone.
In all the world, humble Wasilla, Alaska, though not the place
where she was born, had been nurturing the soul of Sarah, her
spirit and beliefs, for nigh on to four decades.
No one else
This is not about gender. It's not about political party. It
is about this nation of people, founded and birthed in Christian
conviction. It's about the decent, honest, hardworking, or would-like-to-be-hardworking-if-their-jobs-hadn't-been-outsourced
people that are America's backbone, her heart and the soul of
her.
No one else is like Sarah. No one else on this earth -- and who
knew that better than God? In a day and age where people have
come to believe there's nothing "the government" can't
do for them, including "stimulus checks" -- from
their own tax payments -- people have been starving for such
a miracle.
Too good to be true?
Sarah is the real thing. She's someone who runs, snowmachines,
mows the lawn, and champions her faith and family. She's certainly
human, though divine intervention may have introduced her to
us.
Thank God!
