Palin's Church torched - only Arsonists were Hurt

.
Sarah Palin's home church in Wasilla was set on fire by an arsonist about 10 pm Friday night. On Saturday, the fire chief said that the fire was "definitely suspicious."

Isn't that something? The anger directed at Sarah Palin during the campaign was unbelievable. It seems as though someone still hasn't gotten over it.

What's amazing was all the accusations made by those on the left about how horrid the right was going to be toward Obama. There were all kinds of accusations concerning racism and the danger that would come from "rednecks." But it was Sarah that was the recipient of the greater number of vicious attacks - and it was due to her Christian world view. Apparently, a lot more people hate Christians than hate people of a different race.

The Wasilla Bible Church has an estimated $1 million worth of damage. Fortunately, none of the ten people inside, including two children, were injured.

But Sarah is said to have faith in "the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good."

Pastor Larry Kroon said to KTUU TV, "I've had a lot worst calls at night. When one of your parishioners dies or loses a child, it's a whole different thing than the building's on fire."

Give thanks to God for everything. Every travail is an opportunity. Praise God for His goodness. Pray protection for Sarah, her family and her church and that God come against those that would try to hurt them. But also pray for those that set the fire. They must have a lot of anger and pain in their hearts to have done something like this. They really need Jesus Christ.

So many people in our country are in extreme pain - lost without Jesus Christ. It's the only explanation for the amount of anger they have when confronted with the Holy Spirit indwelling in a person such as Sarah. She's someone they can't touch - at least not that they can see. She doesn't react to their barbs. So they just get angrier and angrier.

Even after this, they haven't touched her. Her sadness is for the effect it had on the church and the messed up lives of the arsonists. But their attack doesn't change anything within her. They can't touch her. She's above everything they try to do to her. That's because she has Jesus in her heart. As Joe the Plummer said, "She's the real deal."

Dear Lord, Bless Sarah, and give her - our Esther - as well as her husband - her protector - all the strength and wisdom necessary for the job you have set before them.
