Dear Pepper,

Sorry for taking so long to answer. Thank you for telling your story, I
enjoyed reading it. It looks like we come from a similar religious
background. I never was much of a curchgoer myself but I also do remember
our pastor from childhood and teenage days with fondness. He was a down to
earth kind of man who radiated warmth and a genuine benevolence, but he also
could be stern. I remember him taking one of the rowdier boys by the ear and
leading him out through the door by the ear during the religious study class
I attended prior to the confirmation ceremony. He sure knew how to keep us
under control. A feat that not all of our teachers managed that well...

> Hi Karin, I was raised a Lutheran because it was the closest church
because my grandmother couldn't drive. Aside from being taught about the
devil, and other limiting "stuff", our reverend and the congregation all
seemed really respectful and decent human beings without the usual "uppity
noses" for the most in our little town, and I seemed at the time in my
little-kidhood to intuitively understand that the devil was a symbol of
wrong thinking to shield the self against.
> It was like a sort of "Little house on the prairie" kind of church as I
look back. My church of my youth was a happy experience with a wise old
reverend with many years in our church.
