I guess that&#8217;s what makes the whole relationship between us so interesting &#8211; further proof that a difference in opinion need not strain relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Also, since I did mention my issues with religion in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nargalzius.com\/blog\/archives\/2011\/01\/03\/meme-day-three\">day three<\/a> I&#8217;ll admit that If there&#8217;s one person that can restore my faith in the Church, she&#8217;d be one of them &#8211; assuming everyone else could actually follow her lead. <\/p>\n<p>Uncle Ben is Dad&#8217;s brother who&#8217;s <em>so<\/em> kind, that if <strong>anyone<\/strong> gets into an argument with him, we already know that the <strong>other<\/strong> person is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie, from the times we do get to do a heart to heart talk, I&#8217;d have to say is a genuinely good and well-meaning person.
