Your comment about your family saying "There is more to talk about than God" struck me. I hear the same things around my in-laws. Seldom if ever do we converse about the Almighty. When even religion is struck it is of such a broad nature. My mother in law was commenting to the sister in law how she enjoyed her Episcopal Church because of how close to Catholic they were. I didn't dare bother to get into a Church of England discussion. It is very hard, especially on my wife. I cannot say as I blame her. But there is so much more to talk about besides God around them it seems. It brings to mind something mentor once said, "I hope you do not think there is more to life than serving God?"

"There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God." - Jonathan Edwards
