have a happy home, a new one, in fact.)

I mention ‘saying grace wonderful’ food they eh at me and call me “outcast.” My patents are only 37. I feel they should say grace. We don't even attend church. : You helped me recently with my steady. boy friend. I want you to know it all turned out just lovely from your advice. Thanks a million. May God bless all the wonderful people on this earth, SALLY, SOUTH SIDE. That home of yours has a sound moral foundation or it wouldn't be a ha home, Sally. You'll be reminded to love and respect your parents in any religion. Show them more love and respect than argument about their lack of religion. They may feel the need of church if you expose them to it gradually, through your attendance and by the way you live. - Those — of your friends can become your allies. Get Your parents interested in the families of your. friends—get Jhem interested in the way they ve. Your family probably called you an “outcast” playfully, but proudly-—maybe a little embarny. We all say strange when we're touched or Sings when Prove that you're serious. I'll send you some prayers if you give me your address.
