Seen that around here also.
One of my high school classmates came from a family that, to be kind, had a propensity for alcohol. The kid, OTOH, excelled in his classes--he was crushed when he was beaten out of the valedectorian position by a few thousandths of a point--and was an excellent athlete on both the track and cross country teams.
When the kid went to college--on a full-ride scholarship, because of his grades--his lifestyle didn't change, nor did his work ethic. He became a doctor, and opened a family practive in a neighboring city...because of the attitudes in his home community about what his last name was and who his family was. So now in the home community, a certain faction resents hom ecause he didn't come "back home" and "give back"...to the community that offered him little in the way of hope or encouragement when he was growing up. He's still one of the cleanest-living people I know, and I'm proud to have shared the same classrooms with him.
MY son moved to Georgia and married about a year ago. Never the one to respond well to religious instruction, he called and asked me the other day if I had a problem with his being baptized and joiing his local church. While it's not the denomination I grew up in, nor the one I most recently attend, I encouraged him to do what's right for HIM. I told him that if he has no disagreement with what the church teaches and believes, and if he feels comfortable and welcome with the people there, then that's exactly where he belongs. So his baptism is scheduled for this coming Sunday, which is also his first wedding anniversary...and while I won't be able to attend, I'm really proud of him for making the committment.
