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 were remembering Christs 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 isnt a season of sadness. Ultimately, the story of Christs rising from the dead three days after the crucifixion is the story of the triumph of hope over despair.
Hope is one of Americas unique virtues. Hope makes us dream and achieve the seemingly impossible. Its who we are, and its why were 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
AMEN!!!!!
JOHN 3:19 “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”
LOL! Yeah, that was funny but it was a great segment.
Nope, been here, everyday
It’s replaying right now and it will also be shown again on Sunday
Think about it, This woman use to clean toilets and was a common waitress at one time and the Lord as bless this woman(Sarah)to rise up, for such a time as this!!
Did I miss something? Why would LL Cool J even be featured on that "American Stories" show?
Sarah's show tonight was amazing... very inspirational.
I am watching her again.
She hits another home run.
Indeed we call even the day Good Friday not Bad Friday. It is with immense relief and gratitude that we should witness all our sins nailed up there on the cross with Jesus Christ. This was the mission that Jesus came to earth for more than anything else. Telelosthai — it is finished — “Mission Accomplished, Father!”
Obama meanwhile is probably on his kneeling 5 times a day too... and facing to that place in the Middle East
Obama's ego is too big to share it with any god. he is his own god.(((PING)))
Actually he did not complain at all. His spokesman said he would have no comment on being included and would not ask his part be removed.
The show was NOT a political one in the sense it did not speak to the politics adhered to by any of those included in the show.
LL Cool was a total moron to opt out and miss out on the publicity. he was obviously mislead by a FNC/Palin hater who convinced him his career would suffer from having millions of people see him as he started along the road to success.
The darkest hour is just before the dawn.
Happy Easter Madam President
Thank you Sarah !!!.
.
Sarah Rocks!

Actually, the McCain thing is a good thing. It shows that we’re not religiously for Palin, unlike today’s national socialists who worship Obama like a god.
The spiritual facet of leadership.
WOO HOO! I am so glad she has been added to the “rules” rules!
