Hi,
Although I tend to conduct myself along christian beliefs I'm not a religious person. I have run into too many who are selfserving christians that I can't be part of. I must say I also know some who are true christians through thick and thin living the life of true christianity. I always figured I'd end up stoking the fires of hell and be warm at least!
I have found myself at the pearly white gates twice in my life and been refused admission, I'm not sure if that is being lucky or unlucky. I guess it very much depends on your perspective. I can never tell if the glass is half full or half empty, it is all the same to me, half a glass of whatever.
Maybe just dumb luck all said and done.
If it is part of the "bigger plan"I wish someone would change the plan quickly, because it is not particularly comfortable.
Take care.
Cheers
