I have researched a good many things online and have been very disappointed at the decay I see. Very few answers have satisfied me &#8211; until I found you. The first time I found you was on <a href=\"https:\/\/growingupgirls.info\/\">the girl&#8217;s website<\/a> you have. At the time I was astounded by the stands you take. I wrote to you then, actually, with a question. (I am fifteen, by the way). I cannot put into words how completely thankful I am to have found you. I rarely, if ever, find anyone who is even minutely as conservative as we are, and you are by far the closest. And you are in Omaha, as I understand. I am simply amazed! When I first saw that I was so pleased. I am writing now to thank you profusely for your stands for the truth. I can find answers that do not satisfy lusting wishes, but actually concur with the Scriptures and give me an answer that is backed up by the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>Just today I was researching the subject of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/tag\/entertainment\/\">video games<\/a>, and to my\u00a0<em>utter<\/em>\u00a0delight, I found your article. Truthfully, I didn&#8217;t realize it was you at first, but I was more and more impressed as I read and then I suddenly thought it seemed familiar. And yes, it was who I guessed it was.<\/p>\n<p>As I said before, this probably sounds ridiculous but I do want to thank you so much for your ministry. Too many people balk at the truth and say, in reference to video games, it is not real! But our hearts and minds are real and it makes an impression.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you once again.<\/p>\n\t<h2>Answer:<\/h2>\n<p>It is nice to make your acquaintance and I&#8217;m glad the efforts I&#8217;ve been putting in have been beneficial to you. I hope they continue to help you and your friends in the future.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: I know this will probably be an extremely odd thing to you but I am writing anyway.
