Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b

The Nativity Story
I just arrived home from veiwing The Nativity Story at a local theater with my son. We were both touched and moved to a little mist in the sockets (That's a mans way of saying we cried a bit). The story as found in the Bible is beautiful, wild, raw, gentle, mysterious, mad, and God. To view the artistic rendition on the screen was... I am not sure how to describe it, amazing, romantic, wonderful, disconcerting, comforting.
I left the theater with a heart full of gratitude and praise. In the midst of human chaos God fleshes out redemption. God came near. It is a fact that we live in a very (sometimes) hard world and this real life we live in can be diffucult, but it is also a fact that God is real and active. Thank God.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
Luke 2:14
