Wow. She actually condescended to call " shirt-tail relative"? "Far down a long branch of the family tree"?
I certainly hope she washed her hands after having that conversation- she might have gotten some sort of Christian cooties.
The "reality-based" bunch will never see that no matter how much they may have, their resources, talents and abilities are finite. God's resources are infinite, and freely available to those who seek Him. The "reality-based" people will never understand that, until the world pulls the rug out from under them and they have no one else to go to. Fortunately, God won't hold that against them.
