Today was the day of a lifetime! I spent my morning with Governor Sarah Palin! What an amazing, amazing…did I say amazing…experience! She is in Auburn, NY celebrating 50 years of Alaska’s statehood. William Seward, who spent much of his life in Auburn is largely responsible for Alaska becoming a state, so Auburn is celebrating Founder’s Day–and the governor of Alaska made the long trip from Alaska to the lower 48 to take part in this celebration.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet because there really are no words to fully describe today. Suffice it to say that the governor of the great state of Alaska is everything I thought she was. She walked into the room and the entire atmosphere changed. I’m not joking. I had heard, but now I understand: She really does emanate the presence of God. I understand, too, why people are so drawn to her. When you talk to her, she actually listens. It’s almost unnerving because she doesn’t take her eyes off you. She literally hangs on your every word with complete, undivided attention. And there’s sincerity in her eyes. I remember hearing John Ziegler (documentarian of Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin was Targeted) say that he tends to be skeptical of people because you usually see a different person up close and personal than you see otherwise. He said, after interviewing her, however, that she was exactly as she appeared. She was real. I concur. Sarah Palin is the real deal.

I got to talk to Todd Palin, as well. I always knew he was handsome, but television doesn’t do him justice. And the same is true of Sarah. I have heard so many people say she is beautiful, but if they’ve gotten that only from seeing a picture or watching television, they’ve missed it. Most people can only dream of being that beautiful. And that really is no exaggeration. If anything, it’s an understatement. And whereas some people are beautiful outwardly but not so on the inside, Sarah is beautiful both inside and out.

Again, what an experience! I cannot wait to see her again: tomorrow is the parade, then the reception. Then Sunday it’s the Walk for Autism in Purchase, NY. But then there’s Alaska, and I’ll have the chance to spend more time with her then–less than a month away. I feel so blessed.

I also have to give a “shout out” to Meg Stapleton, Sarah’s spokesperson, who made this possible for me. This is her hometown, and there were plenty of other things she could have concerned herself with, but she opened a door for me that, I know, was God-ordained.

I have always wanted to come to Auburn because Harriet Tubman‘s home is here. I, as a descendant of the family of Harriet Tubman, always knew I’d visit one day, but who would have thought that I would come to meet Sarah Palin?

Okay, enough. Look at a few pictures. I’ll just post a few, but more will be coming after the rest of the events this weekend. I really would like to hide the picture I took with Sarah today because it’s not a good picture of me, but this weekend isn’t about me; it’s about Sarah, and Alaska, and Auburn, so I’ll post it anyway and hope to get a better one of the two of us before the weekend ends. Enjoy…
