First photo credit to AFF's Margie, second photo credit to an unknown newspaper reporter who convinced my family to pose at the Turnpike sign in 1965.

you never said how your family reacted to your conversion to Pentecost

Lancaster County, Pa was my birthplace - yes.
It was a bit tramatic for them and I both, but our commonalities have won over our disagreements. My father and I worked together prior to his death. Today I also have a younger brother who attends a Pentecostal Church.

I think our relationship can be termed as one of mutual respect. We are a close knit and connected family for the most part.
Funny - I went to a farmers market in NY this past summer and met some Mennonite vendors who turned out to be my relatives!

- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.

Were you of the group that disallowed rubber tires and rubber shoe soles, and had twelve men as elders with one being like Peter who determined who was saved and who was not, and forbade belts for pants and only allowed suspenders?
I know a brother who was of THAT sort of group. Whew. Imagine!
