I don't think faith is all about going to heaven or going to hell. I think it is about the love of God wherever we are. About learning to listen and look for the signs of God everywhere. About seeing and serving Christ in our neighbors, near and far. Faith is about giving our lives to God, in all their ambiguity, without being certain of very much at all.

From all the obstacles I throw up to that grace in my life, I need saving. From the crippling effects of my own ego. From my petty warfares. From my selfishness.

Are you saved? Jesus is saving me every day.
