Recently, I had an opportunity to chat with a wonderful lady as she shared with me about her health issues and other concerns. Suddenly she stopped and wanted to know if she could ask me a serious question. I said of course, and she proceeded to relay that she felt silly asking me about salvation, especially since she had been a church member since she was a child. She wanted to know how she can know that she is going to heaven. I do not believe this is anything to be embarrassed about; in fact, it’s rather common as I examine my own heart and soul often. I could sense the heaviness of doubt was stealing her spiritual joy, and this stress can escalate into fear and anxiety. I spent some time reminding her about the spiritual fundamentals of faith and salvation. I suggested that she be honest with God and tell Him how she feels. After I left, I continued to think about how easy it is for us to drift away from the peaceful harbor of hope and spiritual confidence, and how important it is to keep a positive perspective and remain focused on God’s perfect truth that can never fail.

After hearing the GHS band play at the boy's basketball game last night, I just had to commend them on their wonderful performance. You have the best band instructor ever in Jared Opp! I was so impressed at the large number of kids playing (sounded like one of the big bands from way back). You made me proud to be an old GHS alumni.
