Wanna hear something funny? While I've raised my children in the UPC all their lives, I've always abided by my own standards except for a period of time when I was a member of the choir, but even during that time, I never subjected my daughter to 'standards' as taught by the UPC.
That said, she is now 14. She hasn't had her hair cut in almost 3 years. She reads her Bible faithfully, as well as church attendance. She is in the altar praying with her peers. All she has to do is get rid of her pants and she'll be an ultra-con.....LOL!
But I allow her to follow her own beliefs. I've taught her to live by her convictions. At her age, she is close to being responsible for her own salvation. I'm proud of her.
