Brandon I've been trying to find a way to contact you to encourage you since your own biological family can't find it in their hearts to do so - don't worry b/c your Christian family is here for you. You showed what it is like out here in the real world in a struggle between good and evil and with you being so young and trying to stay firm in your faith, with the temptation of a million dollars in your path, you did a great job asking God to help you play according to his will and showing that its not easy to do what is right, but in the end when you do the right thing, it is worth it. We all struggle w/ good & evil, we shouldn't put ourselves in the position of struggle b/c Satan uses our weaknesses enough as it is but sometimes we do it thinking we are strong enough (with God's help) to survive and in essence we are testing God. With that said, I just wanted to let you know that you did a great job of being obedient to God and showing that you obey God rather than man (even when it's hard) as opposed to just saying you do (which so many others did). I was especially disappointed in your father too when he was on there and basically told you if you aren't worried about the money and don't play to win the million you may as well stand on a street corner and preach the gospel. Instead of encouraging you to do what God was leading you to do, he wanted you do whatever you needed to do (including going against God) for money. That shows me that he would have compromised his faith in Christ for money so be proud that you are stronger in faith than he is - don't follow your earthly father, but your heavenly father!! Teach him through your actions that You can't serve two Gods!!! You chose the right one to serve! God Bless You and your family!!

If you by chance read these comments and would like to contact me, I would love for us to share scripture together and encourage one another as fellow children of God.
