THE PATH: 'Excerpt From My Life'

MY WHISPER: This is a page from my high school creative writing notebook. It’s interesting to see how retrospectively my focus and priorities remained in disarray between junior high and high school. Just like many high school kids, I was lost – simply trying to feel my way along a pitch-dark path.

FOUNDATION: More than Being 'Good Enough'

MY WHISPER: This is another lesson from my men’s fellowship. It is a brief look into other religions and what their followers believe will get them to heaven. As the lesson shows us, it’s all about being “good enough.” A very subjective measuring stick for eternity, don’t you think? I feel like I’m a good person – I care about others, do some volunteering, try not to be malicious – but is that “good enough” to get to heaven? That’s a very scary question. I like some of the principles of the worldly religions – do good works, self control, moral living – but when it comes to eternity, I feel more comfortable putting my faith in Jesus Christ. That way, there are NO QUESTIONS when it comes to life after death.
