How to sucker a billion Christians, Mark Morford

[dotymed]

9. I am a Christian.

I have not been to church for about 2 years. I always enjoyed the Episcopalian one though. They were/are about peace
and helping your neighbors, no matter their sexual preference, etc. Not that it matters but I am hetro.

My Daughter and Son in law have really surprised and worried me since they have DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST. It has snuck up on me. We had a great relationship before they moved to Knoxville for him to attend the seminary and she teaches H.S. there.

Since my last heart stent 2 weeks ago, I have spoken to my daughter once. She was upset that I have not completely stopped smoking (I understand) and that I do not see life as she does now.

We were all great together when they lived here. She attended college, he worked construction. They met at AA.
She was raised to be liberal. Now they believe the earth is 6000 years old, etc.
I told her that we choose to believe what we want. I was supportive.
As I was writing this, I received my 1st response from her since I got out of ICU. I texted that I would really like to know that they were alive. "She is, but stressed, pray for us."
I always believed in a caring, respectful relationship/religion.
At least NOW I know that she is alive. I worry about what I perceive as cults.
