As I'm sure you're aware, Bristol Palin, the whoring daughter of Alaska Governor and future President of the United States Sarah Palin, gave birth this week to a beautiful baby boy, Tripp. But what you probably don't know, because Governor Palin likes to keep matters of faith private, is how this came about. Well, the inside story was buried deep in the Governor's press release, but it's too important a message of hope not to share.
Here's what Sarah Palin had to say: "When Bristol and Levi first told us the shocking news that she was pregnant, to be honest, we all at first looked at the situation with some fear and a bit of despair. Isn't it just like God to turn those circumstances into such an amazing, joyful blessing when you ask Him to help you through?"
See? It is just like God to do this. By bringing God into the equation, the Palin family turned the sin of fornication into the joyful blessing of a baby boy. Just imagine what might have happened if the Palins had not turned to prayer in their time of need! My God, I admire that woman (the Governor, of course, not her whoring daughter).
Not only did this miracle of redemption and reaffirmation of life bring a tear to my eye, it also reminded me of Hebrews 12:6-8:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
