Just a thought, towards the end of this discussion, Sarah Palin popped up in my mind. As a follower of Christ, and as an Alaskan, this makes me cringe when everyone is just fawning all over her at this point. Yes, she has some good characteristics, and in the beginning, it looked like she was going to be a great governor...... but now, anything she says is received as manna straight from heaven, and believe me, some of it isn't edible. People, think for yourselves! You are able to make your own judgements and thoughts... No human being is going to save our country so that you can sit back in awe and amazement of your newest idol. So, it goes in and out of "religion".... dialog and conversation can happen, and we don't have to bow to the self described "experts" or the newest star. I wonder if we do that so as to not have to think for ourselves? Hey Kids, I haven’t commented for a while, but have certainly kept up with the podcasts.
