I still think there is a contradiction, and the complicated wording doesn't help. It says parents deny their child. It doesn't make the disclaimer you put in. It should, if that's what it's trying to say.
Anyhoodilly;
I am not Mormon, or anything like that. I believe what the bible tells me. And it doesn't tell me to never drink beer. I enjoy a beer now and then. And I love walking. I'm also into biking, my preferred method of sightseeing. I don't know if I'll be able to make it this December. But thanx for the offer. If you ever get close to Massachusetts, let me know. Brother Ed has asked for about the same thing. I know a wonderful Irish pub that plays traditional Irish folk music, and serves very good food. Let me know.
My 15yo STILL runs around the house naked.
(Well, not quite, but she's modest without feeling ashamed).
But she's still reached the age of accountability.
My younger one, who's 12, is still a kid in many ways, and I don't think has gotten an accountable point yet.
If I ever make it over to Mass. (your kind of Mass, not mine), I'll email you.
If you do happen to be in S.A. this winter, mine is carson@boerne.com - we have great Corona!
