Case 643
I can’t stop thinking about something that bothers me and scares me to death. I have always wondered about eternity, and if sometime after death, once we’re in heaven, God will destroy us. It feels like He created us for a finite time period and, after that time is over, He will discard us. It may be a rather dumb thought, but it seriously affects me to keep thinking about this. Dear Friend, You are [...]

I fell in love with a sixteen-year-old girl. For more than a year I have been trying to start a relationship with her. The problem is that she could be my daughter, because I am thirty-four years old. My actions have shown her that I am concerned about her well-being. She wanted a cell phone, so I gave her one.
