Are you familiar with those times in your life when you feel like just giving up? You make yourself believe that it would be the easiest and most beneficial way out of it. No headache. No pain.

Personally, I have experienced it many times and have come out with my head held up high.

To be completely honest, the part about Hell really scared me. I knew that I did not want to go to Hell, so when Mrs. Griffin asked us all to bow our heads, close our eyes, and raise our hands if we wanted to accept Christ, I raised my hand. Later that day, Mrs. Griffin talked to everyone who raised his or her hand, and I chose to accept Christ as my personal Savior.
