The country is so deeply divided. People make all sorts of claims against those who don’t believe or think the way they think they should think or believe. There have been so many prayers and declarations and claims and counterclaims over this presidential election. And I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve…

The idea was to take a camping trip in the Shenandoah Valley along the river in early October when the leaves were turning colors.
