“What is Jesus doing right now? I heard that He went to heaven after He rose from the dead, but why didn't He just stay here on earth?”

“I feel terrible because my grandmother raised me after my parents’ divorce, and after she died I realized I never even thanked her for all she did for me. How could I have been so thoughtless? Will God forgive me?”
