I was wondering what the feelings were of the people on this forum.
Do they shop in grocery stores or buy their gas at a convenience store? That is their prerogative but to attach spiritual significance to it would be a stretch!

I am very fortunate that the area in which I live is dry. My home town is dry as is my wife's home town.

Sometime when we are traveling we may wind up in a restaurant that serves alcohol, like when we went to San Antonio. But we try to go to places that don't serve alcohol, it make us very uncomfortable.

]We usually go to Golden Corral or Ryan's, someplace that is family friendly. I don't care to be around a bunch of drunks while I am trying to eat.
The last time your family and I ate together it was in a place that serves alcohol and had video poker! Of course there isn't any place else to eat in that crossroads of Louisiana Pentecost! In fact, Elder Epley and a few others were there as well.

I usually order a coke and a beer. That way if anyone comes in from church I can just hide my beer under the table.

I don't think I've ever been around any drunks while eating in any establishements that serve alcohol.....

I bet the places you're thinking about are full of women that look just like Tammy Faye Bakker and Jan Crouch too?

Well in the past I have been in places where people where sitting there drinking and they where loud and disruptive. This was in restaurants that are well know. I prefer to dine in a family atmosphere.
