“Will we experience emotions in heaven, and will they be similar to what we have down here — emotions like joy or anger? I've always wondered about this.”
“My mother and I always had a difficult relationship, and for the last 10 years we didn't even speak. Now she's gone, and I'd give anything to have just one minute with her to tell her I'm sorry. I hope you'll tell people not to wait until it's too late to try to mend a broken relationship.”
“I've been away from church most of my life, but now I think it's time for me to come back. But which one should I choose? I don't want to spend a lot of time visiting every church in our area.”
“Our marriage finally ended after 18 years. The sad thing is, our two children (both teenagers) are taking opposite sides, with our son sticking up for his dad and our daughter taking my side. I hate this. Is there any way to overcome it?”
“I was supposed to retire by now, but my retirement account has taken a real hit in the last couple of years and now I'm going to have to keep working. I admit I'm angry, and I don't understand why God let it happen. What do you think?”

“I don't understand why God says we're guilty when we do wrong, because He must know that we're not perfect and we're going to make mistakes. How can He expect us to do what is right, when He knows we aren't able to keep to the straight and narrow?”
“My sister is in a nursing home, and I get very sad when I see her every week because so many of the people there never have anyone visit them. Maybe you could urge people not to abandon their relatives if they have to go into a place like this.”
“Will we be reunited with our loved ones who've gone to heaven before us? I'd like to think so, because I lost my wife last year and miss her very much. But I can't find anything in the Bible that says we will.”
“I retired last year, and at first I really enjoyed not having to work. But now I'm bored to death, and I know my wife wishes she could get me out of the house. Was I wrong to retire? Did people in the Bible retire when they reached a certain age?”
“All my life, I've been told that God hates sin, and since I'm a sinner, all I can expect is hell unless I turn my life around. I've tried to do that, but I still have a deep fear of God. Is this what God is like?”
“I decided to read through one of the Gospels the other day, and it seemed to me that during His lifetime Jesus was just called “Jesus” by everyone. Is it wrong to refer to Him as “Christ”?”
