You've gotta ask yourself, "Is this the hill I want to die on?" (shrug) It's meaningless to both you and your son (and some might argue meaningless to God as well), but it's pretty important for your grandfather.

I would argue that text would appear to speak to my Grandfather. Telling him not to push in this instance as it creates angst.
You must understand that we get along VERY well and this is not an argument at all...rather a discussion.
Also, you don't just walk in to a church here and say "hey dunk the lil fella", they want a commitment from us to become "part 'O the flock" which ain't gonna happen.
