		<description>Scott,

I read through your testimony and story of you leaving &quot;the truth&quot;.  Very interesting reading indeed.  I didn&#039;t know of all that you went through to get where you are today.  Guess I was just not paying much attention.  I&#039;m very sorry for that.

I would like to ask you a question about your testimony though.  You mentioned Ruben and the exact nature of his &quot;sin&quot;.  I&#039;m surprised that you didn&#039;t mention that when it comes to Dad and his story.  Just as bad, don&#039;t you think?  Why didn&#039;t you just come right out and say it?

I agree that Dad did become quite a celebrity with his &quot;story&quot; of salvation.  I got to the point that I wouldn&#039;t tell it.  It disgusted me to think that others just want to hear of the wonderful &quot;catch&quot; that had been made, rather than the story of a man who was dealing with his terrible condition.

I want you to know that I love y&#039;all very much.  Though we don&#039;t agree on religious or other philosophy, I do truly appreciate your open and honest desire to search out who you are and address your shortcomings and deal with them.  That is the mark of a person truly growing!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Your bro,

Jeff</description>
