is this vastly different than the rest of America?
I dont live close to my parents but my dads mom and dad had 4 of their 5 children living within a mile of them most of their lives. (my grand parents were neither Pentecostal nor ministry).
My inlaws live next door to my MIL's parents.
I know many people, especially small town or country folk that live very close to their family. (I wish I did) who are no where near being in any form of ministry.
I live within a mile of one of my sisters and less than 5 from another. the three of us were upset when our baby sister moved 15 miles away.
