The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Exodus 20:1-17. Here is the verse:
And God spoke all these words, saying: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
1.0 You shall have no other gods before me.
2.0) You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3.0) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4.0) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
. 5.0) Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6.0) You shall not murder.
7.0) You shall not commit adultery.
8.0) You shall not steal.
9.0) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10.0) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

I have been as much a Palin supporter as anyone. However, I am having a difficult time with her decision not to run in a time when someone of her ability and character could make such a difference. I believe in God, Home, and Country. However, as a veteran, I also know that at times, true service calls for sacrifice. That means, God, Country, and Home becomes the order of things.

I watched the President’s SOTU address on FOX News. I also watched all the critiques offered by the media and the Republican rebuttals. But no-one said it better than Sarah Palin in her take on the SOTU comments on FOX.
“His theme last night was WTF, Winning the Future. I thought, okay, that acronym – spot on. There were a lot of WTF moments throughout that speech.”

I couldn’t help myself. I have heard so much about “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,”both positive and negative, I decided to check it out tonight. First I watched the first episode on my DVR. Not bad! Actually, I found the show pretty interesting. The photography was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed the content. Alaska has always been a place I wanted to visit. I always found the ruggedness and beauty of Alaska entrancing.
But, what I was most impressed with a chance to view Alaska through the eyes of a native. When I was at Marine Corps Boot camp, there was a young woman in my platoon who was an actual Eskimo from Alaska. She often held us captive with some of her stories from back home! Whenever I think about Alaska, I think about Eskimos and Igloos! I think most people don’t really get past these stereotypes, much like myself. To see that Alaska has another side not much different from the rest of America was a bit of a shock. I suppose this sounds bazaar. But, what more can I say.
I enjoyed the visits to the various parks and such. Views of the mountain terrain, the wildlife, the rapids were awesome. Watching the Halibut fishing trip was fun. I hadn’t realized fishing was a major industry in Alaska. I’m sure there will be many “greenies” and “other groups who will point out the cruelty of stunning the fish. But, if you paid attention, Sarah clearly pointed out the reasons behind the need to stun the fish. I hadn’t realized how much work went into providing the fish that often finds its way to my table.
There was another reason I enjoyed they show. We seldom get much of a view of local or national candidates as people, with and without their make-up, before an election! All we know about them, their families, and their everyday life comes from the media and the tabloids. Even then, we are getting a biased view which paints a positive or negative picture depending on political slant of each individual media source. The tabloids are motivated more by the drive to make money by selling information about politicians which satisfies the morbid curiosity of the public.
Exposing ones private life to public scrutiny is risky business for politicians. It is unheard of in these modern times. I dare say that the last time any politician gave the public such an open view of their family and life was back in the 1800’s. For a potential Presidential candidate, it could be political suicide. In today’s world of corrupt politicians, socialist/communist,Marxist politicians, and those extremist on the right, it is refreshing to view such an intimate look into the life and background of a politician. Go for it Sarah! You have “guts” girl!
