What a lovely post, thank you for taking the time to answer the way you did.
I grew up in the sixties and frankly I didn’t think we could survive such a decadent time with such divisions but those divisions passed and we raised our family in the 70’s and 80’s when things seemed calmer and much more “American.”
Some of our neighbors voted Dem, while most voted “R” but we all shared the same values, God, Family, Country and our values brought us together regardless of our political views.
The political left is the enemy of our country and has a lot to answer for. Our political right has much to be ashamed of for never taking the fight to the enemy of our country.
Alexis de Tocqueville is supposed to have said, “the US is great because the US is good. If the US ever ceases to be good it will cease to be great.”
It would seem that our government wants to be sure that we cease to be great ever again as they fighting against everything that is good.
I am glad that you have accepted Jesus as your savior and may he bless you always.
AMEN!
