Let’s be honest. I find the construct of what is or is not a conservative to be pretty ridiculous. I agree with many core conservative values and disagree with others. I refuse to be labelled or put into a handy definition box. The sorting us out is Jesus’ job. I’m going to leave that to Him and just try to love whoever He puts in front of me.

Good luck with the hike. I am gearing up for a big hike next year. I hope the prep doesn’t kill me!
