Palin steps down ... or maybe ... UP!

What's next in Sarah Palin's political/personal life is anyone's guess. But my first guess is that she will continue to follow the directions suggested to her by Lord and my Lord, Jesus Christ.

She may very well not have a political power base that goes with the "Governor" title, but she has the support (for whatever is best for her) from her God and many of us who remember her decisions to have a child whom she knew would have physical difficulties (little Trig Palin has Down's Syndrome) and a grandchild who would carry an sadly unfair "title" throughout his life (little Tripp Johnston's father and mother are unmarried) ... but he will be alive and continue to be a child of God for as long as God's plan permits.

I personally would like to see Sarah join Mike Huckabee in either helping to scare Barack Obama into turning 180 degrees into the president we all hoped for (whether it had been John McCain or P-BO)--and would be worthy of a second term ... or ... well, if not that ... well, there's always this!
