I was talking to someone awhile back and they asked the old question, “Hey, how are you doing?” Without much though I gave my usual response “Oh I’m good”.

When Being Good isn’t Good Enough
Growing up mostly in church and attending youth events in the early 2000’s, a common question that I’d hear was: “Do you know where you will spend eternity?” We were encouraged to ask others this question as well and the typical answer we would hear was “heaven of course.” However it was the answer to […]
