Mindy must be an amazing person! My wife and I were having a conversation a couple of days ago about "sharing faith." That is obviously a very common phrase that really means, "I'm going to do what I can to get yu to agree with my way of thinking about God." Sharing implies giving someone something they would like. If you have some chocolate ice cream, it might be nice if you'd share some with me. Not many people are asking Christians (or people of other faiths) to share that. "Please, may I have another scoop?" On the other hand, people can share herpes and that is never very welcome. Hi,

If we asked a question we better be prepared to get a lecture. He's been gone now for over 10 years and I would give anything to hear just one more lecture.

I feel many of the same things Mindy does. My problem is that I was an educator for 34 years. Teaching is a very natural thing for me. I have to constantly remember that fact and try NOT to do it every time someone ask me a question. Most of my family has learned, "don't ask Dad a question, unless you really, really want an answer." I try to be very careful to be brief and to the point. Man, that's sure hard for me most times. I'm working on it. I’m no preacher. I feel many of the same things Mindy does.
