Jesus wants us to have the best things in life
By Kathy Lamb

The Day Of Judgment
The Day Of Judgment
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
The Day of Judgment is a mystery to me. I understand what sheep and goats are (Matthew 25:31-46.) I'm afraid to write about this because it's scary and I'm telling something about myself. Going to hell would be awful, not just because it's awful, but because I wouldn't be with God and my brothers and sisters. Eternal life is what I desire with all my heart and spirit.

Heaven's Second Greatest Saint: Saint Joseph
Heaven's Second Greatest Saint: Saint Joseph
By Nate Lauer

We are never scared into loving Jesus.
