Well yesterday this guy form my school Chris Martinez died in a car accident and I didn't know him but during death one thing always gets me. When people say he's in a better place now I think is he really. A friend of mine said that she tried getting him to come to our prayer group a few times and he said he wasn't into that stuff. It gets to you, you know.

But I thought about it and people today think you get to heaven because you were a "good person" than I think what is a good person. Is it a popular person, somebody who drank and took into things the world does, or is it someone who did things to benefit others. Our world is blinded by the thought that if you are good you go to heaven. But that's not true people think if they believe in God they are going to heaven. but it says in the Bible that we need a personal relationship with him to get to heaven.

Think about it if some random person came to your house saying please let me come in you wouldn't let them in as easy as you would someone you knew and had a personal relationship with. (None of this is referring to Chris so don't think I'm dogging this kid) but it just hurts to think that one this kid may not be in heaven. and two that 1000 other kids may not either unless we do something about it.

We can't let people go around thinking that good works get you to heaven because they don't and I'm sorry if this is gloomy but it's true and the truth isn't always a good jumpy forest with little bunnies hopping around.

Well I don't have much else to say so I'm gonna go now. PEACE




Love,

Thats so true t-barry. Ivy told me that she thinks that if your good you can go to heaven even if you don't believe in god. I guess thats just part of our job, to help people understand.
