ARUSSELL, I've gained alot of respect for you in just your last few posts. Its so hard to respect other peoples beliefs when there not your own. My father is similiar in belief, but has never hindered me in my persuit of Christ. You two are definately a rare breed. He was given 6 months to live a year and half ago, and he's still kicking. It kills me that he may not be saved, but I made the decision years ago not to push him. Still doesn't mean it hasn't killed me not to say anything. Sometimes I even blame myself for not being as good of christian as I should be, or in a way that would make him want to be saved. Just remember Gods loves you either way. He died for all our sins before any of us accepted him as our savior.
take care and God Bless you and your family..........
