Oh yes, All or Nothing. Black or White. No in-between. No gray areas.
Intersting flow of conversation. Did you know Temple Grandin worked (works?) for McDonalds Corporation?
Among other things, she found ways to help calm the animals on thier farms (ranches?).
Did you know she is, - Dr. Temple Grandin?
My son likes to learn how things that effect his life, work.
He can go on and on about vacuums, washers, coffee makers, lights, electricity, etc.
He is currently learning, in bits and pieces, about Jesus.
Much of it seemed to come together when his grandfather died.
My suggestion is to take it slow. Bits and pieces. Have some casual intelectual conversations with him
laying out a path in a thoughtful, pondering, process. Make him think.
Find out how he best learns. Pictures, hands on, routines??? Try to apply his learning style to your sharing.
I remember Mercy (Yentle) reaching out to my son through picture stories. He enjoyed that very much.
He could follow her thought proccess.
And I echo mom and Mack, love and prayer and in His timeing. His will, will be done.
As far as Christians being lazy and eat unhealthy, I bet he could find some biblical truth in that.
I join in prayer with the Oasis prayer team for you and your cousin.
God brought him to you to pray over. You brought him to us, so we pray over him too.
I pray God strenghten your faith and give you wisdom and guidance in this matter.
