Hope When The World is Sinking
If I look to a worldly leader for hope, I will be let down. Any world leader has no lasting merit. Hope and salvation only has one source. And He, the Lord of Hope, is always by my side. I will cling to Him; I will wait quietly before Him. Jesus Christ alone…

How Far is too Far to Travel for Christmas? by Lorri Dudley ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
