Hi Jim.
The childhood you had and mine are on a totally different spectrum - you were blessed in many ways.
Here is a question. In your post you used the word "Godfearing" when you referred to your parents. I have for many years, kept that word out of my vocabulary. What do we have to fear? If we follow His path, it should all be good, right?
I know it is just a word, it is just one that I almost have a physical reaction to when I see ot hear it. The teaching I had as a child that did not include a lot of Bible Study, put that FEAR of the Lord in me and it took a long time to get it out and understand that He was what the Bible says He is, all loving, and forgiving, and understanding.
Blessings, my firend, i am anxious to hear your thoughts on this.
Judy
