Jaragusta, well said above. You are a BIG man in size and heart. If you are ever in Junction City, look me up and we can eat lunch or something.

I hope you DO NOT let it drive a "wedge into [your] life." Life is too short for that. You have explained yourself and the situation well. Some will take your side. Some wont. Some will take no side.

Jesus couldn't please everyone so it is foolish for us to think that we can. (I AM NOT CALLING YOU A FOOL - just stating a general principal that is helpful at times such as this)

Take care.
