"Prompt: If you could hangout with Jesus in any place in the world, where would you pick? What would you do? Would you have a conversation? What would you talk about?"

What do you mean, if I could hang out with Jesus? I do hang out with Jesus every day. He is with me right now in fact. I talk with Him and watch Him in action every day. I am a Christian so I don't need to go to any particular place to hang out with Jesus. Jesus is omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere at the same time. He is present when I am righteous and when I sin. He sees it all and knows it all. I do not have to go anywhere to find Him because He is everywhere. All I have to do is talk to Him. He never leaves me, even when I am sinful. You see, He adopted me. As an adopted child I can never be disowned or disinherited no matter what I do. As a natural born son I can be legally disinherited. As an adopted son however nothing can separate me from the love of Jesus or from being His heir. I have eternal life now and forever. I will not take advantage of that. I will not bring shame onto His holy name. I owe Him too much. I will never say I have to go someplace to find Him for He left His flock to come seeking me. He is everywhere.

The Forge  (ASR) Heat of the flames, metal of the forge. #2076069 by Shaye

about forges. Tell us about a forge you have been through.

I have been through the forge of life. God was not done with me or I would have died thousands of times. IK am a recovered addict. At one time I was taking over 4,000 mg of diphenhydramine per dose in attempts to get high and kill myself. I did not realize at the time that I was trying to kill myself, but in hindsight I can see it. Morning after morning I would come to and get angry with God for not taking me in my sleep. I was angry at the world and most of all at myself. It was no way to live and I do not wish it on anybody. I lived in hell. Then one day something amazing happened. Jesus came to me and told me I did not have to live that way. He told me there was a better way of life. I had to make some tough choices and do some really unpleasant things like swallow my pride, but compared to the life I had been living those steps were easy. I have been clean for nearly 13 years and Jesus is my best friend today.
