Re: My Daughter
navygoat,
I am praying for your daughter and her family. I can only imagine how heartbreaking and scary this must be for you.
As parents it is so hard when our children are grown and make poor choices that we thought we had reared them to not make. This summer I met up with a old acquaintance and his wife and in the process found out that despite him and his wife being tremendous persons of faith (he is on staff at a famous Christian university and has been for many years) their daughter is a drug addict and they were leaving our meeting to go pick her up from rehab.
There just seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why some children grow up rejecting the faith we as parents try to make them understand and embrace.
God bless you.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
