If. . . Questions for the Soul

Part of the If... series

If you were God for a day, what would you do? If you had to remember the moment in your life when you felt the most alone, when would it be? If you were to name one event that most challenged your relationship with your family, what would you say? If your soul was a color, which color would it be? If you learned that there actually was a Heaven and Hell, what is the first thing you'd change in your life?

It's often too scary, too overwhelming, or too time-consuming to begin the whole introspective process of self-discovery. So we often don't look.
