"Being a Christian does not mean you're perfect. Nor does it mean your children are perfect. But it does mean there is forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord. I've been the beneficiary of that forgiveness and restoration in my own life countless times, as I'm sure the Palins have.

I can still remember a Church Council meeting almost two decades ago, when, at its very conclusion a member announced that his 17 year old daughter was preganant...and said "you can throw me out if you wish".

The Council recoiled in horror at that thought and the Pastor went over and embraced the embarassed grandfather-to-be.

[Luke21]

The moralizers who use their religion to condemn others are called pharisees. Most of them couldn’t stand five minutes of similar scrutiny of themselves and their families. Many have concealed wickedness of their own.

God bless the Palin’s. God bless Bristol’s child.
