I lost it sometime last year (again), and thought it was gone for good! But behold, there it is. :)

And yes…you should start a blog!

I’ve got a ring story too….hmm, maybe you’re right, I should start a blog to tell my stories.

You sound like you’re quoting one of Churchill’s more famous speeches in his waining years after World War II. But you’ve hit the “nail on its head”, so to speak, as the quintessential things we can’t live without. Hope!

Shalom!!!

The word hope is often used in His Word. In Koine Greek it is “elpis” but it’s original meaning was “a confident expectation,” never maybe. This gives more weight to verses like Romans 15:13, 1 Thes 5:8, Tituis 1:2 & 2:13, Hebrews 3:6, etc. Most all NT “hopes” are STGs #1680. Read them with this understanding and enjoy His promises even more.

Dave
