You mght try burning some cookies, it worked for Monica. Seriously, though, what does salvation mean for you? For Jesus it meant the kingdom of God which he said is among us. It is a way of living, being present to others as he was, always based on our prayerful relationship with him and our attempts to be open to the Spirit. Failure, which is always a part of our journey, is not as important as doing our best to keep trying. Failure focuses on us, grace draws us beyond us and keeps us going.
