I be another witness to this. My parents are not religious (to many bad
experinces with "religous types" - including my uncle). But when I got
in the church she start talking to him about me and even had him sit
down and try to "straighten me out". After about and hour of me
answering evry comment with scripture and him not answering any of mine
except with his opinion he just go up and ened the convo, Praise the
Lord. My family thinks I spend to much time in the church (funny they
never saw a prob with 4 nights a week in the bar and 6 2 hour sessions a
week in the gym). 

The Lord told us that our family would become the foe, I unfortunetly
know that to be oh so true. But now I am a member of a greater family
with dear brothers and sisters as part of the Body of Christ.

Lord Bless,
