I've decided that I will vote for the sake of the possible supreme court judges and the unborn lives at stake.
As I watched my dear President, with red eyes, give a speech to an ungrateful nation last night I could only sob and pray for mercy for us and for him to be greatly blessed with the favor he deserves.
When the RNC followed his speech with a slap in the face by a video tribute not to his accomplishments, but instead skipped back to Ronald Regan it spokes volumes to me. I now understand vividly what God was saying to my mother a month or so ago.
She said "It was as though He was pacing and talking. He said he had given George W Bush to us as a gift and watched over this nation through him. It was bothersome to God how we had dishonored him. It was clear that He was weighing our actions as He looked at Mike Huckabee, the next gift He had prepared for us. "
The Republican Party is in much need of mercy and prayer. I'm pretty angry with her at the moment and it's difficult to pray effectively with a lack of love. I must though.
On an action level, I'm more compelled than ever to join the efforts of Mike Huckabee's HuckPac to help get the right people into the right offices.
If I continue to participate with the local and national Republican Party, they will probably wish soon that this vocal thorn in their side would just go away.
And I will soon write a personal letter of thanks to my President. I encourage you to do likewise.

I didn't watch much of the RNC, but I have been praying that it will give McCain a boost in the polls. I tuned in a couple of nights ago to hear Mike speak, but he wasn't on. Maybe I got the wrong time? I did see a lot of Palin's speech, however, and she is a spunky, dynamic speaker. Having said that, though, I think the article below sums up the problems with her to a T:

I have to admit that I've been a bit disappointed in Mike in this matter as well. At least up to this point, his mantra seems to be, "I will continue to endorse and support the Republican ticket wholeheartedly, no matter what." I've yet to hear any honest criticism from him recently concerning the Republican leaders, except for Mitt Romney.
Anyway, it seems that God always lets me get disappointed in people so that ultimately I will end up depending completely on him. IOW, it's a *good* thing. And I'm realizing that in some ways I think we've been looking at Mike as some kind of savior or messiah, but he's not. He's a man, just as fallible as anyone else. Only Jesus is our Savior, and we must continue looking to Him. He's still in this election, and through our prayers we can facilitate His will. I have to believe things are unfolding exactly the way they're supposed to, which is good news. We don't have to despair. God knows exactly what He's doing. May He give us the grace to keep trusting and praying.
