HOPE Floats
Hope Floats. That was the title of a movie. The woman's name was Hope. But I think it is an interesting idea. Hope floats. There is a buoyancy about hope that makes the hard things in life manageable.
I am thinking about taking a journey with hope over the next year. Maybe that's part of the reason the kitten got a name that could mean hope. I'm thinking of writing weekly on hope -- once a week. It would be a year's worth of reflections on hope. I might do a whole other blog spot about it. Would you be interested in reading something like that? I would probably write once a week but then others could submit something to me during the weeks to be included as well. Would you be interested in sharing your reflections on hope?
I struggle with depression. I wonder if this focus on hope could be an inoculation against that. Depression robes you of hope. It is part of where it gets it's power.
So, what do you think? A year of hope?

Hope is an excellent thing to consider regularly. I believe hope can shape us; what we think about the future does indeed influence how we live today. It's a tricky thing, though, since our ultimate hope -- that God will turn all our events into blessing -- may not be realized in this life. So you're going to need hope with x-ray vision, so that it can see through the wall that separates this life from the next. Big picture hope.
Do it!

HopeFloats2005. That's my sister's xanga name. Gets her through a lot.
I think writing weekly right here would be great. Yeah, I got the depression bug, too. Actually, it's 'dysthymia', to be specific. Sometime, if you remind me, I'll tell you about my Beth Moore conference. Talk about perfect!
Hi Amy
