strange occurrences lately, family members.

Wow, Terry, that's a lot to wade through!  The most relevant to my situation seems to be from Mathew 18 about forgiving your brother 77 times.

I look at it this way; If GOD can forgive us, who are we not to forgive others? Especially family. You are fortunate to still have family. All I have left is my wife and BIL. I don't want to go to my grave holding grudges. Perhaps your family is trying to make some tentative moves at asking for your forgiveness.
