[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 736586, member: 21572"] Boy, I can relate to this on a personal level (BIG TIME). I would have been around age 10, when I started attending a Church Night with a friend. The evening would start-off with a Bible read, and talking about certain aspects of the content, then we'd talk about other life things, regular everyday type things, and then the leader of the group had something special for us to do afterwards, which consisted of going bowling for the evening, or maybe out to a restaurant for a hamburger and fries, or to a movie, or whatever. Anyhow, I recall how I felt when attending. I actually felt like people cared. It was a place where we could go where we felt safe and loved, and all of the people in the group were good kids. We all came from proper homes where proper morals and standards and manners were instilled upon us. The group sort of kept a grip on us, at least that's how I felt. It was a place we could always count on. It helped keep us straight. We had a lot of fun and I will always remember how well the leader mentored us and directed us and took us under his wing. Thank you so much for this, RunnawayBunny. [/QUOTE]
