YES! Moses.
Had his own sweet life. Went from that place into a wilderness. Found a mate whom he loved and was, for all practical purposes, happy with his lot.
The bush burned.
Moses obeyed. He herded cats. If you read Exodus, the ways in which Sarah has lived her life and the moonbattery she has weathered, is as wide and as deep as any biblical tale I can think of.
He withstood dissention from his own people. He battled for freedom, wisdom, understanding. They mocked his speech. They plotted against him, yet he kept going, day after day, year after year.
Those who compare Sarah Palin to Deborah and/or Sarah, or Esther, do so because she is a woman. But she is more than a woman. She does not use her beauty as Esther did. She does not send a general to do her battles as Deborah did.
To compare her as woman to woman does not even begin to give her credit for all that she is or what she will become.
The flow and outcome of this story is also dependent on the people and their willingness to move in a positive direction.
I’m going to sign-out now with plenty of sweet thoughts on my mind. We have a battle in front of us, but *we* have our leader. Prayers & Hugs and I’ll see you later today. [It’s late!]
