In today's Beach Talk, Betsey reflects on her recent bout with the Covid virus. This week, President Joe Biden signed The Respect for Marriage Act. Betsey and Ken talk about their change in perspective on LGBTQ+. For Betsey, that changer of heart accelerated with her support of Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who appeared conspicuously at the signing. The legislation prompted Ken and Betsey to pick up on their conversation about the way in which the Bible has been used and misused. Ken shares more from Jon Meacham's influential book on Abraham Lincoln - And There Was Light. The book's focus is The Civil War. Ken notes Meacham's focus on Lincoln's spiritual journey - the books he read, the Bible he knew, and the enormous political pressure of the war. Raphael Warnock's win for the Georgia Senate seat signals a powerful impact on the Senate and the nation. Christmas is coming.
