Hi Kat,

You mean everyone doesn't enjoy engaging in spiritual discussions on tough intellectual topics? This is what I do, and one of the things I enjoy most in life. To engage with someone with a different viewpoint, and the moment when one of us has a "light bulb" moment when something new is discovered and learned is great fun for me.

But I understand your point - d17 is still a young woman. And she likely needs more "fun" than intellectual challenge right now in her life. Again this is the challenge. I invited her and s13 to spend the night (tomorrow they do not have school). So let's see if she accepts the invitation and maybe I can pull out a fun video game we would both enjoy. Thanks again.
