So, I\u2019m sitting here again, trying not to get teary, while sitting in the GOP Convention which was just called to order. The above photo is of the \u201ccolors\u201d being brought into the conference center, which was followed by the National Anthem, and a prayer \u2014 in Hebrew \u2014 by a Rabbi.\u00a0 When he prayed for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, I had to really fight tears.<\/p>\n

I love America!<\/p>\n

The mood is festive, people are having a great time, and \u2014 in random intervals \u2014 some of the crowd begins shouting Ron Paul.\u00a0 Should be an interesting dynamic here!<\/p>\n

Are there any Evangelicals for Mitt here?\u00a0 E-mail me at Nancy @ EvangelicalsforMitt dot org!\u00a0 I\u2019ve already met so many wonderful friends \u2014 drop me a note!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Follow me on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
