Blog Assignment #52-Mid-Term Project

1.            Right now, America is buzzing about what is going to be Sarah Palin's next move. Is she trying to become more of a celebrity? Or is she going to run for President? Well, what does God think about it? What does God think about politics in general?                God gave us leaders in our life to...well...lead us! He has chosen certain people to help America. Other people, we chose. Some people say, "Well, it's because of God that America is going down." No. It is not because of God. It is because of these people who do not know anything about politics, elect someone who should not have been elected, and then blame God when things start to go wrong.
                I think God has given us Sarah Palin for a reason. She is so awesome, and she stands for Christian, Conservative views! I personally think (along with many others) that God has given us her because she is going to help America in many, MANY ways! I'm sure God thinks the same thing. He has given us a great person! All we need to do is open our eyes and see what is right in front of us!

                This book is about many abductions. The time kidnapping all the people are known as "The Big Bad Wolf" team. One woman who was kidnapped was Elizabeth Collony, who was abducted from her home.
                Of course, this is a fiction book. Even though it is fiction, things like this happen every day! Abductions, murders, everything! Dr. Alex Cross has to investigate the crime scene and try to stop the Wolves from attacking again. Can he do it? Or will he be their next victim?
                This is a very well written book my James Paterson. Since it's on the bestsellers list, it is recommended for anyone! I wouldn't mind reading it myself! n59036.jpg
