The next VP of the US of A

God-willing, my friends, we're seeing a major shift in politics in America - a shift that's going to motivate me to finally step out on a limb and share some personal hopes and prayers that I've had for quite some time.

So that's all coming soon.

But for now, as I sit hear and wait to get on a plane home after a delay - and another delay - and another delay - I just thought I'd think back on what an amazing week it's been.

Sunday, Speaker Pelosi opened her mouth and royally inserted her foot when she tried to explain away her support for abortion rights as something mysteriously not quite totally decided (or very recently decided) in what the Church (her Church, she claims) teaches in the arena of faith and morals.  She mis-quoted and mis-used the writings of a saint and Doctor of the Church.  And she did it - GASP - in the week when his feast day and that of his mother are celebrated in the Church's general calendar.

That was followed by a week of bishops across the country having the guts and smarts to come out and help teach her just how wrong she is on the issue.

Oh yeah... and it just happened to be the week that the DNC was having the DNC in Denver, and I suppose that they really wanted all eyes and minds on Obama rather than on Pelosi and her relationship with her bishops and the teaching of the Church on one of the issues they surely didn't want in the headlines at this moment in time.

And today, we find out about Gov. Palin, a brilliant choice and seemingly remarkably genuine woman.

Something tells me there was some major intercession going on upstairs, and now we have someone who seems to be a splendid VP candidate on the presumptive Republican ticket.  A real American woman and pro-life mother of five.

Robbie... just the other night at dinner I made it clear to you that I vote first and foremost on the issue of life.  Maybe we're finally at that turning point back to the reality of the natural law, of our true humanity, and of respect for life in our American culture.

What a great week.  God bless America and all her children!  This is going to get exciting.
