“How could a good God send a good person to hell?” The Bible corrects this misconception by stating, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3;23).

Lake DeGray is a beautiful place to camp. My wife and I recently spent five days at an Alpine Landing campsite with four of our grandkids. It was both fun and challenging. We used the boat to sling the kids around on one of those big blow-up towable tube things. They loved it. I grew up playing in ski boats, canoes, kayaks, and flat-bottom boats. Boats are designed to be in the water and on the water but not in the water. Boats that get full of water sink to the bottom.
