in my first year of college, i met a dude named alex heidengren (we called him axel). he had a contagious love for God and absolute heart for worship. he encouraged me to make Christ look great in any and every situation. axel's home with the Lord now, but i still think about him pretty often. you wont believe how much he taught and even continues to teach me. i'll miss him a whole lot, yet i live with the hope that he currently stands worshipping Almighty God.

all that to say...
i've got this friend named Jesus.
and knowing Him changes everything.
He conquered death and that means more to me now than it ever did.
Jesus saves unworthy sinners.
