Sharon,

I think it's a good idea to name these relatives sometimes so that others 
can help pray.

My grandma Riker is not saved.  She's told Mom before she doesn't want to 
hear about the Gospel anymore.  A couple times she went to church with Mom 
when Mom visited her.   At the invitation Mom saw Grandma's fists clenched, 
as if she was resisting conviction.  I just hope she doesn't resist too much 
longer, as she just turned 88.
