    The Doors stand before me again. There was a time when the decision was easy. A life of pain and suffering, or joy and salvation. Two Doors, two choices, black and white. How easy this decision was for a young child’s mind.No one ever told me of the consequences.I remember the ceremony. All children do it when they reach ten years of age. I was no different. I remember the nervousness that struck me when I saw the Doors. They were different than imagined. Many children envision large and elaborate steel doors, one glowing red hot and fiery, the other gleaming white and radiant. But when we re...AFPone door
