I tried to FaceTime you this week.

Where were you?

Well, the election coverage had our conversation, this week. It is just awesome to get any conversation from these young men, you left me home with. It seems that they believe in either dominating the conversation or not having one. I am left to listen, until I get the gumption to jump in and argue my point for as long as they have ears to listen. I think that Walker men are loners at heart. Enoch and Ethan are becoming polarized in their perspectives and poor Ezra is becoming a henpecked fellow on every side.

In spite of this, we drew together on the election coverage and what we don't want. There are some new history books published about Abe Lincoln and Jimmy Stewart and we found a way to talk about how men are written about and will be depicted in the future. We decided that there is very little encouragement for men to be men. Everything they say is attacked as being sexist. We pray that they will find a voice of strength and direction, in spite of the special interest groups attacking them and crushing their every hero. Keep, at least one eye on the strengthening of the younger male siblings that God has given you!
I love you and miss you!
