McCain's faith
Sarah Pulliam
Rick Warren's question: How does faith work out for you on a daily basis?
John McCain's answer: "It means I’m saved and forgiven."
He then told a story about worshiping with another Christian during his captivity in Vietnam. On Christmas, a North Vietnamese guard walked with him in the yard, and drew a cross in the dirt and quickly scratched it out.
"For a minute there, it was just two Christians worshiping together. I'll never forget that."

In a Soviet Gulag in the 1950s a Russian prison guard drew a cross on the ground and worshiped with Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who went on to become a widely read author.
But here's the miraculous part. It turns out that in the 1960s a Vietnamese prison guard also drew a cross in the sand and worshiped with John McCain. I mean what are the odds that a POW in the late 1960s should have the same experience reported from the 1950s by a famous writer who he has often said he greatly admires? Yes, McCain only remembered the cross story after the publication of Solzhenitsyn's book. But I believe him.
And I believe that he was in a cone of silence and that there were WMD in Iraq and I believe that Cindi broke her arm shaking hands.
