FREEDOM, it comes with a price

FREEDOM from the beginning of time has always come with the ultimate price of bloodshed. CHRIST died on the cross and shed his blood for us so that we could be FREE from the bonds of sin. FREE from the snares of Satan. Even before our temporal state there was a Great War in Heaven, where we chose to come to earth. WE fought for our FREE AGENCY, our agency to have the choice to be tested and to one day return back to our Father in Heaven.
The scriptures tell of wars and bloodshed. What was it over? To be FREE from Tyranny, to be FREE to worship. World WarI, World War II, Vietnam War, and the conflicts and wars that are going on today all boil down to FREEDOMS and the right to them. Most importantly it also ALL boils down to sacrifice and bloodshed so that a better life can be for others. I know if it were me in those people's places I would want American Soldiers to rescue. I would be praying for help and relief. WATCH THIS VIDEO I found it on Purple Diva's blog.

I see many men and women in our military forces come through the airport. I have talked with many and each one that I have talked to know their purpose. They back our President. They believe they should be there. Some have different views on how things should be handled but they all agree their presence should be there. Yes, they want it done. Get it over with and Get out.

I am so blessed to be born on this free land. I am so blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ, I am so blessed to have the right to protest, the right to disagree with our President, the right to raise my voice. In many countries those same rights can sentence me to death. BUT PLEASE REMEMBER, the ability to have those rights, SOMEBODY DIED for that FREEDOM and right so that I could openly express any opinion I so choose.

Sarah


When this lady came onto the presidential ballot. I had some pretty strong feelings about her and was upset that Mcgruff hadn't chosen someone with more punch, notoriety and political power. That he chose a mere soccer mom, who reigned over a small town and now over Alaska. Now, don't get me wrong. I love small towns. I also believe Alaska is beautiful but to pull out a powerful VP, in this woman?? I have doubts. She could be our possible president!

I also felt McCain was just choosing a woman to try to sway the woman vote and felt he better do a lot more than that!. Ms. S has begun to raise my eyebrow and has earned my ear. Perhaps it is better that she has been kept free from the political tarnish and is a mom. I know as a regular mother. I have some amazing ideas and suggestions as I am sure we all do. I knew Mcdonald wouldn't ask Mitt to be his running mate, even though I secretly had hoped.

I am looking forward to learning more of her. I missed Saturdays debates! I do not get caught up in the media portrayal of any canidate. Media tends to sway their presentation of facts according to how they want one to believe. I will research each and make an account according to my thoughts. Not according to others.


I worry that her inexperience may prove to be over her head. It's not like we are asking her to co-ordinate snacks for the soccer team, we are asking her to be second in command and have a large influence on the protection of our country.
However, this same inexperience may prove to be an ACE in the hole. This may prove to her advantage. I just don't believe that MC will truly listen to what she has to say. Ultimately, MC will do what he wants and probably listen to no one.

So, rest my concerns with Palin, tell me why you like her?
