When will she ever learn

I can't possibly be the only one that thinks Gov. Palin should stop talking. She needs to learn to leave well enough alone. Throughout the entire campaign, she touted the Christian values, yet last week, she had an open discussion that just about trashed anyone she could think of from her own campaign. The most ludicrous was that prior to the VP campaign she was looking around for someone to pray with and there wasn't one person on the McCain campaign that she wanted to pray with... so she prayed with her youngest daughter piper. Here is her quote:

"So I'm looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra," she said of the moments before the debate. "And the McCain campaign, love 'em, you know, they're a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray."

As a Christian, aren't we supposed to pray with and for our fellow man. If she couldn't find anyone "worthy" of praying with, then maybe she should have been praying FOR them instead of maligning them. Shame on her! Please don't just talk the talk...

Dobson out...

While reading my news today, I ran across the article that explains that Dr. James Dobson, of Focus on the Family is stepping down his board position. He will remain the spokesman for his causes, but no longer remain on the board. Now, that's not really news to most of the world, and not my point at all in publishing this non news. But in the comments section of the article, there was one that I must share... as I couldn't have said it better myself. About Dobson specifically, as well as about all who go to extremes on anything. It follows:
_______________________________

Once a LONG time ago, I once admired Jim Dobson. His advice on raising children was sage.

BUT…… something happened to James Dobson, he went OFF the DEEP END of EXTREMISM. Whenever people become EXTREMISTS, whether they'd be from the LEFT OR RIGHT….. you become irrelevant! You become "noise" ….. and in some cases, like in Dobson's …. hateful. Any extreme view denies the possibility of MIDDLE GROUND. For life is not …… always black & white!

Sadly, Dobson became a hater, while STILL claiming to be Christian! As a Christian, who knows well what JESUS asked of us, I am disturbed by Dobson's rhetoric, his hate for anyone who is different from him.

DR. DOBSON, I HOPE THAT YOU WILL FIND PEACE……. THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER IN YOUR OLD AGE, THAT WE HAVE A ………LOVING GOD…… WHO ASKS US ALL TO LOVE ……….. AND LEAVE THE JUDGING UP TO ….HIM!
