We’ve all been there at some point or another…we’ve received bad news, we are experiencing a painful situation, or we are having relationship problems. Perhaps we are feeling helpless, hopeless, or just plain exhausted by the weight of life and our seemingly unending responsibilities. These are often the days when we are hoping someone will come along and say just the right thing…that thing that will cheer us, encourage us, or uplift us in just the right way. My hope is that you will find something like that here, and tuck it away for a difficult day. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about this thing called life, it’s that it won’t always be easy. But if we keep searching, hope is there, simply waiting to be found.

“God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.” – C.S. Lewis
