How you doing?
I read somewhere that Fred was brought up in a church of Christ, my church growing up. Not the liberal United Churches of Christ’ (Obama’s?); I’m talking about the fundamentalist, autonomous ones. They are conservative—practically `plain-clothes’ Amish, but with electrical appliances: no women preaching, no instruments/a capella singing, novels discouraged, cards, dancing—bad, bad, and there’s a lot of `fire and brimstone’ but no snake handling or speaking in tongues. (Think of `Chick’ publications.)
We sent my daughter to one of their summer youth retreats a while back and she came back scared to death from having it pounded into her that she was `hell-bound’, so I didn’t send her back. Maybe Fred considers himself a christian, while not particularly `religious’, as I do.
In any event if I want someone to unload on me, to tell me to `straighten-up & fly right’, my wife is available, 24-7.
Give `em hell Fred.
That's so true. LOL
