I don't care if you are sure you're going to one place or another, I'm just wondering what's the best thing and the worst thing you've ever done in your opinion. What are you proud of and what haunts you?
(personally, I don't believe in hell, and am not so sure about heaven)

Wow....this is a bit personal....
The best thing i've done....probably tutoring others in class for free....I've done some charity work for Legal Aid....I'm very proud of some of the political campaigns I've been a part of.
The worst....hoooooboyyyy.....I have it....
While working in a restaurant, I lost my temper (in private) and hit a touch screen.....I ended up breaking it. I lied about it....including lieing to several close friends.....and have never told the truth about who actually broke it. I don't think I'll ever be able to admit that particular thing since those friends went to the mat for me when others suspected it was me all along.

The best thing I've done? I once chatted online for about four or five hours with a girl who was trying to commit suicide. She literally had a gun in her mouth the entire time we were talking. I used every argument I could possibly think of, to keep her from doing it. I tried as hard as I was capable of trying to stop her. It was a totally heart-wrenching conversation and I'll never forget it. I actually don't know whether she did it or not; she IMed me randomly and I still don't know exactly who she was. But I'm proud of the way I acted during that conversation, because I know that I tried as hard as I could to help her, and I know that I conducted myself as well as I could have (I didn't get angry or frustrated at all; I kept calm and just listened to her speak). And I refused to leave or sign off before she did. I still think about her to this day, and I don't know what became of her. But I tried to help her, I really did.
Worst thing I've done? I honestly don't know... I haven't committed any major crimes or anything like that. I've probably been a pretty annoying and unnecessarily argumentative son in the eyes of my parents a lot of the time, and I regret that. My grandmother and I also used to argue a lot when I was a little kid, and I was probably to blame for 99% of those arguments. I regret those also.

In the past two days I have told four people that I am a born - again believe. That is something I am very proud of.
I've been a believer for quite sometime now, but it took me such a long time to be open about it. I don't think I am proud about that.
You can be sure, there is Heaven as well as Hell. I don't want to bore you with the details of either one, but be sure of their existence.

I do believe in heaven and hell. Where I go has nothing to do with "acts" I commit. Where I go has to do with whether or not I have given my heart to Jesus and asked His forgiveness of my sins.
Sincerely asking for that forgiveness is the only thing necessary to obtain eternal life in heaven.
And, I don't know how anyone alive in these times could deny the existance of an evil so great that it is proof of the presence of hell.

Believe God first, and then the truth will all come. If you dont believe in God then you are just guessing as to what the truth is.
In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -John 18:37

Will our answers make you feel better and normalize your fears??? Come on! Mistakes are normal, and only through mistakes we get wisdom, that is the surest way to grow up. And all situation in life only come to us for us to mature. so dont be upset if you commited mistakes, it only means you have grown, always learn from mistakes, experience makes a man perfect. Our soul constantly seeks experiences if it is good or bad only after the experience we tell ourselves no this is not me, and we seek new experiences, this is the only way a soul grows.

One act of Forgiveness from God the Father--so WHO wants to bring up something FORGIVEN and FORGOTTEN and removed as far as the East is, from the West?

10 years ago I lost my virginity to my best friends fiance.
Although it pays for sh*t, I've kept the same job for years because patients count on me.

NOYB! They're all forgiven anyway. That's between God and I.

I "believe" in nothing, everything is sacred.
