For many of us, the arrival of Easter means the arrival of a new season of joy – of Easter parades, Easter egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, and sweet Peeps topping off a family meal. Some may wonder why we merrily celebrate at a time when we’re remembering Christ’s crucifixion on the cross. And there is something to that. Good Friday is, after all, about God who became Man, dying on the cross for our sins. And yet we celebrate Easter Sunday, and we are right to do so.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). This one verse sums up the miracle that is the Easter season and helps explain the celebration. Yes, Christ died for us, but in the end Easter isn’t a season of sadness. Ultimately, the story of Christ’s rising from the dead three days after the crucifixion is the story of the triumph of hope over despair.
Hope is one of America’s unique virtues. Hope makes us dream and achieve the seemingly impossible. It’s who we are, and it’s why we’re able to always believe that our best days are yet to come, both for our families and for our country. Easter time reminds us that we have every right to believe that this hope is based on time-tested truths and a solid foundation.
On behalf of the Palin family, I wish you all a peaceful and reflective Good Friday and a blessed and happy Easter Sunday.
- Sarah Palin
For a woman the press continually calls ill-read and stupid, Sarah impresses me EVERY TIME I read anything she writes or listen to her speak.
She is one smart cookie.
And she knows the truth and is not afraid to speak it.
God bless her. And a happy Easter to all.
When that kid was collecting his thoughts and he said “well Mrs. Palin” I kinda lost it!!
I wonder how cool.. LL Cool J is feeling right now for bumping himself off of this show.
Poor Rabs, he must be apoplectic.
People all over the net is calling him tonight: LL FOOL J.
You McCain bashers don’t realize that the irony or ironies is that the ultimate RINO if Palin becomes POTUS will be known as the man who resurrected the Reagan conservative movement. I don’t think McCain ever could conceive of such an honor.
I consider myself a tough dude but that kinda did me in too....:o)

I heard something about Toby Keith complaining about being included....Keith would be a moron not to like his spot on her show...
(((((((( VERY SPECIAL SARAH PALIN ping ))))))))
But then it turned to laughter when the dog wouldn’t pick up the damn pen! Kids and animals...ya just never know what they are gonna do!
Did you watch her special tonight in Greta’s slot on Fox News Channel tonight?
She was wonderful.
God Bless Sarah Palin.
I think she is graced by Him.
It was an AWESOME special..That boy Cole, what a cutie pie, and when he called her Mrs Palin, was that the cutest thing or WHAT..the funny part was when the dog did not want to get the pen..maybe he knew it was dropped on purpose..great dog..and smart too..he’s probably thinking “Hey you dropped this thing on purpose, why should I get it” LOL. Sarah has a way with the camera, she just glows..great show. I hope she does it every week
Had a hot date.
I'm glad it was well received, maybe it will replay and I can record it
:-)
We can thank Roger Ailes for another masterful job of put ting someone like Sarah in the right spot and place....he did help to resurrect Nixon’s career.
Have you been gone lately? You’ve been greatly missed in the Rabadash wars.
Oh yes, thanks “Cuda” you described some of my favorite parts and Sarah was wonderful with all the people.
Lakeshark, the show repeats at the top of the hour, so set your recorder gadget (I have TIVO) because your hot date will want to see it too.
Sort of like contrasting meadow muffins and freshly baked cupcakes. Sarah Palin is, indeed, a breath of fresh air.
