My spiritual journey really started when I was a sophomore in High School. I came home from basketball practice one rainy evening and a friend of the family was waiting in the living room for me. He said he just wanted to talk to me for a minute or two. We went down stairs and he posed this question to me; “Michael, If you were to die tonight and to stand before God, why should He let you into heaven?. Michael Richard Stosic
About This Quote

During my sophomore year of High School, I began to become interested in the overall concept of life after death. I had never been particularly religious, but having a friend who was raised Catholic and believed in life after death helped me grow my spirituality. It was only two years later that I decided to take the next step in my spiritual growth and became an atheist. The question posed by the friend really inspired me to think about why God would allow someone into Heaven if they did not believe in Him.

Since then, I have been on a journey to learn more about God and His ways. I have learned a lot from other people's perspectives and from my own experiences.
