Its Sunday and I am in church.  It is good to be here this morning, even though in my spirit I am having a hard time.  This is the place to be when life seems like it is spinning out of control. This is the place to be when you feel like you are in a pit and have no one to help you out. Why, becasue of hope!  There is a hope in this place that you do not find anywhere else on the planet.  It is a hope that comes not from the songs we sing or the sermons we hear and preach but from a God who loves us and wants a relationship with us.  This is the one thing that is keeping me going this morning, this is the one thing that is enableing me to get behind a pulpit and preach.  It is the message that I have hope in Christ Jesus and no matter what I am going through, no matter how dark it seems, He is with me all the way!

Have a wonderful Sunday and remember you have a hope!  His name is Jesus.
