Buckeye Back Roads Tour cont.:<\/strong> \u00a0 Campaigning last week, we spent the weekend at Ann and Tim Miller’s small farm in Lisbon, Ohio. \u00a0 They practice: “Apostolic Farming.” \u00a0 That is, they look at farming as a sacred trust between themselves and God. \u00a0 To honor this, they don’t use toxic pesticides, herbacides, fertilizer… that can damage humans and the soil. \u00a0 And as they look at farming as a sacred vocation, they look at family as a sacred vocation as well. \u00a0 They don’t listen to television, they listen to each other. \u00a0 The children begin to learn a sound work ethic at an early age as they all pitch in around the farm to help. \u00a0 They pray a Rosary together every night. \u00a0 (Our family prayed with the Millers both Saturday and Sunday night and it was nothing short of \u00a0what could be referred to as a \u00a0monastic family experience.) \u00a0 As a result of all this very intentional parenting, I find the Miller \u00a0children to be some of the most spiritually centered and \u00a0emotionally grounded youth we’ve come across anywhere in the country. \u00a0 Note:<\/strong> \u00a0 I told CBS News<\/em> \u00a0 in Monterey, California that to heal the country, you have to heal the family. \u00a0 And the Miller family in Lisbon, Ohio, is an excellent model for how we can start to do some of that. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
