Interesting reading this morning...

Here are some articles I read this morning that moved, challenged and inspired me:

1. The Power of Hope:
I'm giving a short testimonial on the topic of Hope at church this Sunday. This is in conjunction with the Advent tradition that lights a series of candles each Sunday leading up to Christmas and each candle represents certain keys within the Christian faith. I came across this article that reveals how powerful and essential hope is as we confront the terrifying realities of life - in this case, spinal chord injury:

2. Wisdom and Miracles:
