Train children in the right way and when old, they will not stray. -Proverbs 6:22, The Green Bible

Me, my grandson J, and my husband/J's grandfather. 

I’m blessed to have six grandchildren who I love and adore. Two of them are athletes who entered college this August with full scholarships! I’m very proud of all of their accomplishments and grateful they have parents who are raising them with the Christian values our family shares: kindness, justice, and right relationship with others. 

I spoke with J, my eldest grandson, recently, in an effort to understand what young people think about voting. 

As we discussed his first voting experience, J mentioned that he voted in the August Primary because his parents asked him to... But he really didn’t know what he was doing.
