Well, we have decsided to "cave in" to shut her dad up about this subject. He has been riding her really hard about this as much as we would realy like to be able to do this, I just want this man off our case. He still can not give us ANY Biblical proof that it is unbiblical/stumbling block/ dishonoring for a husband and wife to share a dance togather. He even went as far as to ask her if I where to take her out to a fancy fancy place to eat and there was dancing being done there (show dancing, my thoughts where ballroom style) would she dance then? Her answer of course was Yes.


So needless to say He has been treating her like dirt the last few days, and have pretty much taken over controling EVERYTHING that happens, yet again. If he takes the guys out fishing again hours before my wedding like he did the last one I think I will flipout.


Please also just pray for me that I can keep my big mouth shut and my feet out it (my mouth that is) because if he starts to go after me and my supposed hangups, and thoughts on things, I realloy do not want to have to throw the issue of Golf being a stumbling block to others when they see men of the Church spending more time on the Golf course then with their wives. ( I would dare say that between 1/2-3/4 of the men in the church almost LIVE on the golf course, and its really sad because it is really starting to take an effect on my better half's mom).

I also do not understand how in the world a man who is supposed to be the sheppard of the flock of this church full time, has the time to coach two little league teams, play golf up to three times a week, still be the sheppard, lead the flock that has been entrusted to him, and prepare for his "sermons" like he should be doing. Needless to say he does not "sheppard" very well in my eye's, I do not think that he has EVER returned a phone call from either myself or my wife-to-be, instead he uses her parents (mom) to relay messages to us, as in when we had to have schedules changed for the so called marriage counciling sessions we had to have, which where a joke. Instead he would be playing golf or coaching.
