I really wanted to post a video from youtube on our blog, but can't figure out how. Can I get some help? In the meantime, here is the link to view it. It's worth the 6 minutes...if you have time to watch it, don't miss the ending- it's the best part! Aaron and I have been encouraged by this song for two weeks, ever since Brett, the student pastor at church, shared it.

The service for Peepaw was very honorable. We enjoyed seeing family. Afterwards we went to his house to eat lunch with everyone. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind words!

This blog is not meant to be anything more than a chance to share what's going on in the Fernandez family, but my comment in the previous post about our feelings on Sarah Palin's candidacy requires more explanation I think. It's so much to get into in a blog post here, so here are a couple of articles that go in depth about our views of Biblical womanhood for those that want to read. They are long, so get into them when your little ones are napping or during your lunch break...

Sarah Palin and the Complementarian Compromise
But What About Deborah?
The Palin Predicament Resolved (I haven't read this one yet but it's written by the same guy who wrote two of the others)

Sarah Palin is here in Salem tonight. She is speaking at a rally right across the street from our house at the Salem stadium. Vivian and I took a walk over there to see what was happening and were very surprised! Hours before the rally was supposed to start, the entire inside of the stadium was full. I've heard the stadium holds 20,000 people...there were more than that there. I just hope all those people will go to the polls for her. We're going to vote for this party for many reasons, but honestly we're not too excited about Palin as VP...not sure it really fits with our belief in complementarianism that the Bible presents so clearly as God-honoring.

This is our street...people starting parking here around 2 pm today.

Vivian wasn't too interested...imagine that.

The line was crazy! It wrapped around at least 4 times. And it was COLD. We made our way back to the house pretty quickly.
