Yes, I heard that story, too. As a charismatic and a Freeper, though, I am wary of a lot of the lunatic fringe stuff that charismatics do to the detriment of all Christians everywhere. Even a bit nervous of some of Palin’s religious associations... One thing that the lunatic fringe always seem to do is assign Old Testament icons (like Esther) to Post New Testament modern situations. I've heard the "you are a modern “Esther” thing a lot. But I don't know if that guy was just making things up because they sounded good or if that really was a word from God. If it encouraged Palin, I am pleased, Lord knows she needs it!

Nonetheless I do believe Mitt is working behind the scenes to take Palin out while the iron is “hot” so to speak. The “towel” story is so smarmy, I somehow only think a religious person would even use it... a “religious” non Christian like Romney or his goons. What a low blow against Palin.

Rino Mormon anyone?

I think youre onto something.

Liberals wouldn’t find a woman wearing a towel scandalous.

They would prefer a guy, but really wouldn’t think twice, considering your average Thursday afternoon in the Castro district.

More and more, this looks like Mitt’s people are directly responsible for President Obama.

That’s beyond scandalous.

That borders on treason.

“.....seem to do is assign Old Testament icons (like Esther) to Post New Testament modern situations.”

I don’t look at is as some prophetic moment to see parallels in today’s world with what has gone on in the past. They are just examples of how God has acted in the past, and how we can have faith in Him in the future.

When I read Esther a couple of weeks ago it was to give me some hope that this unknown woman could help her nation.

When I read Esther just now it gives me hope that, in spite of the Jews being captive, God was watching over them, even while teaching them a lesson (their captivity).

I’m not sure if Obama is God’s punishment on us as a Nation, or if it is just “bad things happen”. Either way - God will work it for good for those that love Him. We may not have a country after Obama gets done with it in spite of our fighting for it, but we WILL still have God.
