:: the bravest thing we have is hope

"Hope knows that if great trials are avoided great deeds remain undone and the possibility of growth into greatness of soul is aborted." 

:: brennan manning, abba's child: the cry of the heart for intimate belonging

"Therefore, let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,

for He who has promised is faithful."

:: hebrews 10:23
