I lived through the ‘80’s. Didn’t you?

Some of the people whom I found out were into that sort of thing shocked me.

“I lived through the ‘80’s. Didn’t you?”

I lived through the 80s...mostly in the military.

Nope, I never snorted cocaine, and didn’t have any friends who ever did.

“”She couldn’t remember a time when God wasn’t real in her life,” wrote Kaylene Johnson, author of “Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska’s Political Establishment Upside Down.”

At 12, Palin was baptized by immersion in water during a summer family camp, along with her mother and siblings. Riley said her public testimony and drive to encourage others to do God’s will set her apart at a young age.

“That’s where we noticed the first indication of leadership,” said the pastor, who delivered the invocation at Palin’s inauguration.

From that moment on, according to her biography, her faith grew. In high school, she led basketball and track teams in prayer and to church when they traveled. She signed yearbooks with Bible verses, taking her own motto from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances.”

Sounds like the world I grew up in. And no, no one I knew used cocaine or other drugs. I knew a lot of kids in school that did, but not anyone in our church group.
