Why Do People Believe Palm Sunday,&Easter Isn't A Christian Holiday?
What do you do when a relative more like daddy believes that Palm Sunday,& Easter are only Catholic holidays not holidays a Christian should celebrate?
Then also when your daddy like don't believe Baptists believe somethings that it don't say in the Bible?
Talk about a major problem here between us. He knows what Palm Sunday is but he still says it's not a holiday Christians celebrate. It all started when I mentioned that Sunday coming up is Palm Sunday,& he starts in with all of this,& then claims he's talking about how he grew up,I don't see how he could be talking about how he grew up saying all of that.
It's like daddy never thinks he's wrong,& when he don't want to hear what I have to say he won't listen,that's like when I even do tell him about any of my problems he says I don't want to hear it,& he always claims he will listen to me when I do but he don't. Is a high heart rate a bad thing?
You know the place in the pharmacy at Winn Dixie where you can check your blood pressure,& heart rate,I did that,& my heart rate was high,we were there getting refills on my regular daily medicine.

Hello Donna
Many Christian churches celebrate Palm Sunday. Many others don't. Many Christian churches celebrate Easter. Many others celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ but believe that Easter as a word and many of the traditions that go with it come from pagan origins. Here is a web site that will tell you more about that.

You and your dad have a lot of strong differences. It is hard for many parents to realize that their children are grown up and can make good decisions etc. on their own. It is especially hard when their adult child has ongoing problems, situations or limitations. He believes he knows what is true and what is best. You disagree in some things. The best that I can tell you apart from family counseling is to confront him as little as possible. If he says something that you do not agree with but you know is not a major issue let it go and save your energy for things that are really important. That will cut down the tension and make things a bit more peaceful for both of you. Maybe when there are fewer conflicts it will be easier for him to sometimes see your point of view. I can't guarantee that but it may be worth a try.

Drugstore blood pressure and heart rate machines are not always acurate. If you have concerns about your heart rate or other health problems this is something to discuss with your doctor or other health professional. If you feel you are having bad reactions to your medicine that is something to discuss with your doctor too and if you feel like something is wrong that you need help with immediately tell your dad. I deleted your list of medicines and medical history because that is personal information that is better not to post on a public Internet site.
