Hey, They Way believers don’t believe in the Trinity as you learned, they don’t believe anyone is in Heaven. When I share Scripture with my brother, or used to, as he did with me, he said you have to break down each word into the Greek translation of the word. In other words, John 10:30 says: I and my Father are one. When I share this with him, he says you have to look at the Greek translation of the word “one”. He says that Pastors that go to Seminary schools know the truth but don’t teach it in Churchs because people would leave. Smh. They also speak in tongues. Just so different from how we were brought up. He was always pushing these beliefs on me, but if I challenged him, oh me. He didn’t like it. I don’t think he shares it with the other brother. The other brother, Jim, has been very hurt over the years, but he tries not to look back. I guess that is why they get along. He just stuffs it. Talks fast, he’s hyper. Great brother, that one tho.

Your thoughts about the magic of feeling special when being around my Dad- being introduced to his special political friends, etc and the rides with my brother as a teenager are right on target!!! Of course Dad is deceased, a ride with him would be special. But if he wasn’t deceased— that magic wouldn’t be the same. You are spot on!! I wonder how you have become so knowledgeable about life and issues?? Gee, to spend a week with you. I would get over my fear of flying pretty quick I thing!!!

My grown kids seem to be good. The marriage is always an issue. Worse of late. I think he has been feeling bad mentally. That doesn’t make me happy but maybe he is realizing something about life and the time we have left? He is definitely passive/aggressive. Full scale. When he’s down, I feel sorry for him. Then he turns mean again!! I have prayed for 42 years for peace, joy, just getting along. I don’t understand these marriages that are happy where the couple really likes each other.

Thank you again—you are awesome with discernment. I start with a new therapist tomorrow. I hope you are doing well.
