Gounded, Radical, Cosmic Hope (Ezekiel 37:1, 11-14)

Rejoicing in the Lord's Saving Work (Luke 1:46-56)

“Optimism and hope are radically different attitudes. Optimism is the expectation of things—the weather, human relationships, the economy, the political situation, and so on—will get better. Hope is trust that God will fulfill God’s promises to us in a way that leads us to true freedom.”

—Henri Nouwen
