Taking God’s Name in Vain

One of my younger brothers, John, has lived in Minnesota with his wife and children for the past 26 years.  He makes one or two trips to Peoria each year to visit with the family.  A couple of years ago, he came to spend a few days and attend a family get-together, and he and I spent some time talking and catching up on what had been going on in our lives since the last time we talked.
