or you may hear your servant cursing you-
that many times you yourself have cursed others.
. . .not your regular blend
Well, if character doesn't matter and you want real, real change, I think she might be a viable option. For those of you familiar with my new political party the Eyecandy Party . . . this could be the answer.
And let us not forget, she was not thrust into the political landscape by John McCain, nor did he make the first comparison of her and Senator Obama.
As quoted in Time magazine in 2005 . . .
Senator Obama himself made that first comparison.
Unfortunately, her video contains one use of profanity (it rhymes with witches), so view at your own risk.
I would bet that as President, she could get meetings with the vast majority of world leaders. I am not so sure those who are what we might call the more radical fundamentalist followers of Islam would meet with her,or maybe one of them would marry her thereby forging a lasting peace like it used to happen when the Prince of a country married a Princess from another.
Well, what do you think? Hot or Not?

What is courage? Here are some great quotes trying to define it:
I, personally, find my strength and courage in God. That peace that
passes all understanding is only understood when you are on your face before God in the eye of the hurricane wondering where the wind went and knowing it is all around and will soon try to scoop you up and away in a very un-Super way. I will never understand all of the whys of this life, but I know that He does, and I am convinced I can trust Him with my life and circumstances.
I am surrounded and encouraged by others who also find courage in their faith. I find comfort for my own struggles in praying for theirs. My boss and friend Wendy and her family, my sisters and brother, Andy, my niece Adrienne, my husband Jerry, the Gunderson family and so many others who choose to look forward as best as they can, by the grace and mercy of God. Thank you my friends and family for the encouragement you are to me and many others.
Please enjoy this song, pray for me and my friends and family as we walk through the valley.
And now . . . drumroll please . . . the aforementioned song.
Courage Is . . . by the Strange Familiar (lyrics below)
"Courage Is"
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway
You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway

Take courage my friends. He knows your needs.
He cares for you. His love for you is limitless. If you still haven't found what you're looking for, look up to your Creator.
If you have a prayer request, feel free to post it in the comments or for more privacy, e-mail it to me. I have much time to pray now, sequestered in my room with two air filters, battling the collective smoke of over a 1,400 fires.
Pray for Jerry and I, that we would know God's will and how to accomplish it.
Pray for your friends and relatives. Pray for our nation, our current President, Congress and Senate, and those elected this Fall.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."Jer 29:11-14 NIV
