Okay, I’ll admit it. Sarah Palin is one of my heroes. I don’t talk too much about politics –and I’m not really going to now. I just think this woman is so brave and bold in her faith that I have to express my admiration publicly. I am not really even talking about the woman as a politician, but as a woman who has been in the spotlight as much as she has in the past year and a half. She has been more transparent to the world than any politician that I can remember.
When the press attacked her, she handled it with grace. When they attacked her family, she acted just like any mom would…she actually kept her cool a whole lot better than most of us would have! The media seemed to be on a witch-hunt and they had no mercy. Could that have been because so many people were in Sarah’s corner? Personally, I think it backfired on the mainstream media. I think all the negative attention actually made people look for the reasons as to why the media was outright bashing her and realized how much of a gem she really is.
I willingly admit that I voted for Sarah Palin. I probably would have voted Independent, had she not been on the Republican ticket. Seeing how open and bold she is about her faith in God has really impressed me. I would be impressed with anyone who acted as she has–high profile or not.
Sarah was in Grand Rapids this week, doing a book signing for her new book , Going Rogue: An American Life, at Barnes & Noble…less than 30 minutes from my home. I wasn’t able to go, but the book publisher, Zondervan, in conjunction with CBN did a great job interviewing her. They broke it up into two segments and I will embed them below for you to watch. It is well-worth your time. Enjoy!
I totally have to read this book!
