nice Jim, thank you for sharing. I think it is interesting that when someone is highly energized, committed &really enjoys sports, drinking, etc. it is considered normal yet when someone is committed to Christ they are considered extreme. I do agree &experienced many times over the same consistent reception, at least initially, of rejection. It's often hard for those close to see you other than how they always have perceived you. The biblical precedent is that of family rejecting ¬ listening to you until they see new &consistent evidence of a new creation/person. Your story is believable, relatable, and moving. Thank you again for your witness. Brian
