We have a great family. We know we do. We need to apologize to them right now. Our last blog post hurt a lot of people in the family. That was not our intention. Our praise and thanks in the post were meant for our loved ones. We were very careful with our wording and trying to keep things positive but we realize it didn’t come across that way.

The sadness we felt during the election was specifically related to the belief that sometimes it is OK to do immoral things for a moral cause. If you feel that doesn’t apply to you, then it wasn’t meant for you. I can see how our post sounded like a blanket judgment. Really we were writing about very specific circumstances. It made us so sad partly because it was so rare.

We’ve had a lot of chances lately to talk to family and friends about political issues. We are sincerely grateful to everyone for sharing their beliefs. We keep coming to you or asking you because we respect you! Our family members are good examples of people who care about this country and want to see it moving in a moral direction. We agree with them 100%!

We don’t all agree in our political opinions. But that’s not what’s important, is it? The important thing is that we value each others’ opinions.
