Words to Live By

Sarah Palin's wisdom and eloquence as she stepped to the microphone for her evening gown competition.

God has made us this promise: If we will commit our works to Him, we will succeed. Our lives can be enhanced by applying this, and by thinking optimistically. In Alaska we have mosquitoes. We also have the most beautiful mountains in the world. The choice is ours as to which we'll focus on.

That's consistent with the way she is now. We have those pesky mosquitoes like the Irag war, the economy, supreme court decisions and magazines and periodicals that she doesn't read, but we need to to quit thinking about those things and just focus on this great country of ours while we're asking for God's blessings. It's going to be all better.
