So I've gotten into softball a bit recently. A month or so ago my friend convinced me to try out for the school team with her. I haven't played in four years, but why not at least try out? And I made it. I was actually a bit stunned because I failed miserably at all …
Where would I be?
Without the God of the universe conquering death, Where would I be? Would I be happy? Content? Successful? No. I would be a selfish, negative, unsure, approval-seeking sinner. But wait. I already am!
