You do have such a wonderful heritage. It is worth more than any inheritance you could ever receive. I know many of your Texas relatives and of course you and your family. I can remember as a very young minister's wife admiring your grandparents, Bro. & Sis. Layne. Isn't it a good feeling to know that not only are we bought by His blood but have the blood line of such Godly people? When I consider my heritage it adds value to my day! <strong>Sis Smith, how good to hear from you!! I do love my heritage. Thank you for the kind words about my grandparents. I miss them everyday.

I found your blog through...well...a bazillion other blogs and there you were. I appreciate your post. I also enjoyed some of your other posts...you're a nut and you haven't changed a bit in that regard! The Apostolic Heritage is one that is beyond demonination, but it is one that has commonality in doctrine and in truth. That's our real heritage. Sis. Jana, you are right - the Apostolic Church is in GREAT HANDS! Love you bro. Glad I found you...I'll try to keep in touch now. <strong>James, good to hear from you. Doesn't it feel like a million years ago that we lived together at the Parc at Pointe West! I'm glad that you have enjoyed my blog and that you feel the same way I do about the future of the church! Than,

I am one who gets really angry with older people saying, "I don't know about these young people and if we will have a church tomorrow....blah, blah, blah." I believe in the youth of today. The church will always stand triumphant and you will help lead. Reading this post actually makes me excited about your generation taking over. You, Bryce, and so many others will take us to higher heights and deeper depths. I am so proud of you. <strong>Sis Allard, Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you believe in my generation! I'm so excited about the future and the great revival that God is pouring out. Than, you know I love your humor because it brightens dull days, but this post has touched my heart.

I too have a very deep-rooted Christian Heritage. I was born and raised in Pentecost. My grandfather pastored the church that my father now pastors in Strathmore, for over 40 years. I grew up on Pentecostal pews, people shouting around me while I slept during service. I remember hearing people talk in tongues all of my life. I too cannot understand how people are worried about the UPC. It is as strong as ever. There is a group of young men like yourself and I, who are strong and grounded on a firm foundation. This is our Christian heritage and we are ready to fight for what we believe. There are some ancient landmarks in our lives and we refuse to let them be moved. <strong>I forgot all about the sleeping under the pews. Have you ever been left at the church? Those were classic moments. I think that "the older generations" can forget that there are those of us who believe it just as strong as they did. I think it is comical for people to believe that they are the only "true" defenders of the truth! It is nice to know that there are other's my age who feel the same as I do! Nathan,

I will never give up my beliefs or values, and I will always value my relationships with others who believe the same. You're a great man, Than, and I respect, admire, and love you and your family. Your father has preached a lot of sermons that have blessed me tremendously through my life, and he's even prayed specifically for me and told me things that have helped me be strong. I know nothing will ever change in my attitude or love for you guys! I hope we'll always be friends. God bless you always!!! ps. And I always enjoy reading your blog! =) <strong>Thanks, Janell.
