I never expected to see a thread like this one on the forum, but it was a pleasant surprise to me. My half brother who's 10 years my junior and better educated than I am, converted from Lutheran to Russian Orthodox at the age of 16, which is my faith. I always had the devil on my shoulder growing up and maybe that's why I went into LE.
My brother on the other hand wouldn't hurt a fly and eventually became a Russian Orthodox priest, church and all, including a wife and three kids. One son by the way is currently in Special Forces. He's also the FD chaplin. But the odd thing is my brother's a postmaster as well and is also licensed to carry. I'm sure he doesn't carry at work though I have while visiting him. I'm still a very bad boy. He's a man who wears many hats.
I guess my love of guns and westerns as a kid rubbed off on him, but thank GOD he didn't turn out like me. I never spoke about my brother before, but I guess it's nice to have a brother like that, besides he gave my partner plenty of holy water to rid, to a certain extent, his vacation home of unwanted guests.
