A bible in one hand and a shotgun in the other seems a sure way to preach to someone to get them doing what you want. You Dad sounded some character. And your mother switching religions like that seems a courageous thing to do. It is ironic I don't people preaching to me about anything, that maybe why I am not a big on religion so to speak, I have been caught up in so many wars around the war in the name of the religion, the only thing do is hurt the little guy.
A great entry and I always like hearing your memoirs and seeing your photos too!
Have a great week and don't forget we have a giveway going on to celebrate our third anniversary of Silver Bloggers. Celebration Time! We are Three - Happy Birthday Silver Bloggers!
