My parents guide me still. Their cares and concerns were lovingly local. Neighbors, what was happening at church, the job, the local ball teams, especially one that I played on–that’s what they talked about and cared about. National news, not to mention world news, rarely occupied their minds or became a subject of conversation.

As I think back, my parents were the same. Politics were rarely discussed, even during the tumultuous 60’s.
Even during the 60’s. Same in my family. I grew a beard. Mom and Dad didn’t approve, but they didn’t say much abut it.
Sad to say political obsession is dividing family and friends. I pray God will bring back old fashioned patriotism
Candy, I sympathize. It grieves me that these wedges have arisen.
