Huckabee's message:Where is Darkness let your Light Shine !
Governor Huckabee's TEXAS' message : "where is Darkness, let your LIGHT Shine !"

- "Light means the most, and counts the most, wherever's there's darkness .. Let your light shine !".

That was the US Presidential hopeful, Governor Mike Huckabee's message to People gathered in Texas at the eve of a Crucial GOP Primary vote.

As Young Student Journalists described it in Houston Chronicle newspaper, Mike seems to have made a reference to November 2008 and/or 2012 US Presidential Elections, speaking to Families in Churches : - "The bass-playing pastor ...couldn't resist one of his now patented folksy asides. - "I will say what Jesus would have said in the New Testament, ...had he been in a similar position that I'm in today ... blessed are the brief, for they shall be invited again."...

But People were more impressed by the main thrust of his 5 minutes speech : - "Huckabee, in his role as a presidential pastor on the stump, talked about the necessity of Christians to be the light of the world, recalling a youth conference in 1972 as a pivotal moment in his life. He urged the congregation to get out to their various polling places, and "let their light shine" by not forgetting that they can make an impact: "If your light doesn't sign, there will be no light that shines. If you do not illuminate the darkness, there will be no light for this world, and people will stumble and they will fall for a lack of the light. But since you are the light, your light matters. And it matters more when things get really, really dark. Please never minimize that your voice, your life, truly does matter, and it matters more in the darkness than it does anywhere else ... It's more important that your light shine when you're at work, when you're at school and when you're at the voting booth, ..and when you're with your family. Wherever's there's darkness, that's where the light means the most, and counts the most. Let your light shine !" "

"Church remembers responded warmly...

None of the guys could understand why Huckabee wasn't the clear choice for America. Issac's mother, Sarah Elsner, shares many of the views of her conservative son. The clear choice for her is Huckabee. "I like him because he represents my values," said Elsner. "He walks the walk." Elsner identified Huckabee's "love for God," and his stances on abortion and traditional marriage. "The family is the core," she said. "I feel like a message needs to be sent."

Her son and his friends say Huckabee should continue to campaign no matter what happens on Tuesday, and perhaps start a bid for a write-in candidacy. Mrs. Elsner has a different idea. They've been Huck fans since last fall, and have been working on convincing their husbands to vote their way. "I'd like to see him as vice president," Elsner's friend, Patricia Woldtredt, said. If Sen. John McCain added Huckabee to the ticket, it would go a long way to reassuring her that the Arizona senator is serious..."

To reinforce her point, Elsner quoted Proverbs 29:2: "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.".. he is a godly man with values that represent us," Elsner said.

"The values make the man," Woldtredt said. "It's not the charisma," but it doesn't hurt..."
