I knew some of this about you, but not the full picture.
Your essay is a testament to how personal and individual all of this is. One of the up sides of participating in this group is the chance to hear stories like your own. Another is the opportunity to think about our own stories, where we are and how we got here.
I know that the hard core religious right has been around for more than 33 years, but their political power really does seem to have begun around them. Fortunately, I think they are losing their power and, to some degree, losing it because of people like you and your wife.
While I've got you, I just have to brag that my tomatoes are doing great (despite having been repeatedly blown over by the wind).
