Susan's Life After Homeschooling

Taking another look at Sarah

Posted in Running For President

This is a response to two comments made on my Sarah, Please Go Home entry...

Dear http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SchoolinRhome/

I'm always amazed when complete strangers find my web blog.  You have a beautiful site and I am saddened about Marsha's loss.  God be with her. 

You and I know very little about Sarah.  Like you I think she is a great person, but I really don't know for sure if she can “multi-task, properly care for her family and get things done”.  I know she’s probably trying.  We cannot judge right and wrong based on experience - ours or those of others.  We must discern them based on Biblical truth. 

You share a number of examples of different mothering experiences. You are missing the point... I am speaking to a much larger issue of priorities.  The nation's business has now become Sarah's priority.  John McCain and those voting for her will expect that.

She is free to make this choice, of course.  God does not make us conform to truth – we have a free will.  But, she cannot escape the consequences.  I don’t wish that on her.  I want to sound the alarm to her and others like her.  Titus 2 instructs me to do that, like iron sharpens iron. 

And yes, if there are homeschooling moms around me who lose their way, I do admonish them in love and with grace.   God’s word instructs us to help each other reach the finish line – to finish well – and it’s how you finish that counts.  It’s not too late for Sarah to change course.

What, in your opinion, is the Biblical message that she is sending families in America that will help them?

I have heard both her major speeches on TV and cannot once recall her giving any glory to God.  I apologize if she did and I missed it. 

I’m not looking for a perfect candidate (as you say, there is none).  I am trying to stay informed in light of God’s principles and I do not have to pray for His will concerning Sarah.  I already know what it is because she is married with children. I pray that she will do the right thing with this sacred trust He has given her.   I don’t want that to sound insulting to you.  I don’t intend for it to be.  I want to speak truth.  I didn’t write the Book, and I encourage you to find your defense for Sarah in there, if you can.  I would be open to a Scriptural dialog with you about her.  Susan  PS:  My homeschoolers are grown and gone now, so I have time for blogging. 

Here are the weblogs that I wrote about her.  Try to get the whole picture of what I am sounding the alarm about. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/7757/582401/
