....there just may be a significant "personal" difference between Mrs. Palin and Mr. Perry. Having been around for over 50 years...and having lived in many parts of the world, I've noticed that there seem to be two basic kinds of Christians.
No...I don't mean the creed they follow. Heaven knows there are many many many more than two of them. No, here's what I think the difference is (at least to my eyes).
There are the "tshirt slogan" christians....and the "internalized" christians.

IMO he honestly sets out what he believes is the difference between the faith of the two possible candidates. Now none of us know what is in each of their hearts, but he puts forth a case for Perry being a "tshirt slogan" christian and Sarah as one who "wears" her Christianity on the inside, who lives by it and leads by her life including giving birth to a special needs child. He makes a convincing case, again in my opinion, for trusting her and believing what you see is what you get.
I encourage readers of this thread to read his entire post and come to your own conclusion.
There is a time for public prayer, and the time is now for Christians to stand in unity.
Nonsense!
Palin had prayer breakfasts when she was governor of Alaska and good for her.
Just as it’s perfectly fine for Perry to have a prayer rally.
Trying to bash Perry for having a prayer rally and trying to portray Palin as superior, because she didn’t have one is ludicrous. There is NO “logic and reason” in it whatsoever.

UPDATED: Alaska Governors Prayer Breakfast
http://www.c4parchive.com/2009/03/alaska-governors-prayer-breakfast.html
The annual Alaska Governors Prayer Breakfast will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. AKST (12:30 p.m. EST, 9:30 a.m. PST). The featured speaker this year is Russell O’Quinn. Governor Palin has attended the breakfast for the last two years, and, according to C4P reader Kenton (and other sources), she’ll be there this year as well. You can watch a live webcast of the breakfast here.
As Jesus gave his Disciples different tasks:
Matthew 16:18
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
John 21:25
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
Acts 9
Saul’s Conversion..
Who are you, Lord? Saul asked.
I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting, he replied. 6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.
I think Jesus has also given different tasks for Gov Palin and Gov Perry to do as well....
In this particular series of posts regarding perry's apparent "pullback", it only strengthens my views.
Of course, and as always, IMHO!
